Should Christians Stay in the Methodist Church Now?

“What one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace” – John Wesley.

I am writing this on my own personal blog for two reasons. Firstly to support my brothers and sisters in the Methodist church who have decided to leave, but are coming under increasing pressure to stay (not least from fellow evangelicals). And secondly because I would not ask any of the sites I write for to publish this. They don’t need the hassle. And I need to freedom to say what I believe God has laid on my heart (I add the caveat that of course I could be wrong – judge for yourself!).

As predicted in my article in CT the Methodists have overwhelmingly supported a change in doctrine which goes against the teaching of Christ about marriage. Resolution 59/8 which recognises both same sex ‘marriage’ and co-habitation was passed by 254 votes to 46. You know it’s bad when Steve Chalke tweets in support!
