@revbethanncook@DrewBMcIntyre These churches have incredible brokenness because of how their matters were handled by our system. It may be that this is an interim step. I pray their healing process helps many. Is it Wesleyan, maybe not but neither was their treatment by our Wesleyan leaders.
@RitterChris One interesting thought. Both elders quoted in this article are strong 30somethings who are supporting conservative theology. Maybe the rainmakers were wrong about “all young adults being progressive.” This I all painful in Iowa - pray for us please. We have lost our way.
“A worldly clergyman is a fool above all fools, a madman above all madmen...These are the pests of the Christian world, the grand nuisance of mankind, a stink in the nostrils of God.” - John Wesley, not mincing words in 1789
