If true, perhaps the only thing I will ever have in common with her.
Absolutely useless facts about you nobody gives a hoot about?Del wrote: 04 Mar 2023, 19:02 I have a couple of large spruce trees on my lawn.
The spruce trees have a couple of Great Horned Owls who make their home there.
Them owls are hootin' up a storm tonight.
In case you cared, which you probably don't, here's the fairly significant things I did that I can now fully discuss. As of June I will be leaving the United Methodist Church and joining the Global Methodist Church. The church I currently serve will also be disaffiliating from the UMC. We feel this is significant and difficult but necessary.jruegg wrote: 01 Mar 2023, 10:44 I just did some fairly significant things that I can't fully discuss for another couple days. But know it is a fact. It's probably useless. And I doubt many if anyone will care about it.
Oh dear. I care. Don't know how open you care to be, but I hope your building/grounds and your retirement accounts are not tied to the UMC. I went through a similar transition in the Episcopal Church 10 or 12 years ago. Probably over the same main issue. The old "Can you change it from the inside or do you finally just have to go?" debate is painful for those who were born and raised in that tradition. The "I didn't leave my church, my church left me" mantra is hard on the older folks. I'm sure you guys have prayed your guts out. My prayers are added to yours.jruegg wrote: 07 Mar 2023, 12:18In case you cared, which you probably don't, here's the fairly significant things I did that I can now fully discuss.
