re: United Methodist Church special session this week

This was brought up in our Men's Emmaus reunion group on Thursday. Our church elders aren't optimistic about the likelihood the church avoids a schism.

Not sure what day of the conference but one of the days is set to discuss exit strategies. Someone is going to leave. The African conferences have already threatened to leave if the One Church Plan is adopted. If they stay with the Traditional Model then the more liberal West and Pacific Northwest jurisdictions will likely leave. Someone is leaving though. I have been following the Wesley Covenant Association as that might be an outlet if they do in fact adopt the One Church Plan, which I believe they will do. I am getting tired of having to change my way of thinking for such a small minority. Let them leave if they want to do gay weddings or ordain openly practicing gays. I don't mind worshiping with them as I've known many. I just don't think they should be in leadership roles within the Church.
