The United Methodist Church Is Against Honor

Well, not exactly. The General Board of Church and Society is endorsing and recruiting people to attend the One Nation Working Together Rally, billed by it's promoters as the anti 8/28.  The organizers and promoters of this rally include SEIU, ACORN, the Communist Party of America, Democratic Socialists of America, and other progressive groups.

The biggest promoter of this rally is Organizing for America at BarackObama.com

Another promoter and participant in the One Nation Working Together Rally on October 2 is the General Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church.  No surprise here.

The GBCS generated headlines like "METHODIST CHURCH SCOLDS THE PRESIDENT" when President Bush endeavored to free 20 million people from a psychopathic dictator.  If you read the entire article, on the jump page, buried in the next to the last paragraph would be a disclaimer to the effect "The GBCS does not speak for the UMC".

I believe it was the predecessor to the GBCS who funneled money and support to Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwean dictator who took a rich, free society (Rwanda) and created a socialist utopia.  They went from a net exporter of food to a net importer of food in less than two years.  Their currency inflates at 10,000% per year.  He retains power by intimidation and murder.

The UMC is governed by the Book of Discipline which is amended every four years by a General Conference.  There are more UMs in Africa than North America, so the rules of the GC were adjusted to insure that North American representatives would not be outvoted by African representatives.  The GC also adopts a series of social principles which are supposedly biblically based and non binding.  The social principles read like progressive social justice.

These are the basis for the actions of the GBCS.  Membership in the United Methodist Church continues to decline.  It is my thesis that the GBCS has abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ to embrace progressive political action, thereby alienating members and potential members.

Full Disclosure:  I have been a member of the United Methodist Church all my life.  I believe their emphasis on social justice is replacing God with the government.  History will show this never ends well. My wife and I are active in a declining UM congregation because we feel called to serve here.

We will go when and where the Spirit leads.
