Plucked from the burning in 1709. Channeling my inner firebrand ever since.

It's less burning down the house on the way out and more breaking down a locked door to get out of a house that's already on fire.

@zachariasgrant A shepherd who resigns and leaves the flock to the wolves is the definition of unfaithfulness.

1. The events regarding the provisional class candidates at #FLUMC22 demonstrates why the One Church Plan was never (and will never be) a workable solution for the #UMC.

[John Wezley @JohnWezley]

@jblxdesign And if they don't, it is encumbent on the clergy session of the annual conference to maintain accountability. That's how #UMC polity works. It's why there's a 3/4 majority threshold. The whole thing was designed to let 26% exercise accountability. #FLUMC22

[John Wezley @JohnWezley]

@jblxdesign Additionally, a call by itself is insufficient for commissioning and ordination. A candidate must submit themself to the discipline and accountability of the Church. They must conform their lives to the requirements of the Church.

4. In the post-separation #UMC, your conscience will only matter if your conscience is aggressively progressive. Everyone else's conscience will be required to conform to the spirit of the age. If there's one thing #FLUMC22 has taught us, it is that.

[John Wezley @JohnWezley]

3. The One Church Plan was shortsighted at best and misleading at worst. And if you expect the values of that plan to govern the post-separation #UMC, then plan to be disappointed.

Did we really need an entire website to let us know that institutionalists no longer support the Protocol? Kinda thought that was obvious. #umc #gmchurch #beUMC
