Methodist General Conference 2004
Well, the Methodist General Conference 2004 is underway. You can read Rev. Bill Martin's Modest Proposal to bring the church into unity. He has a nice idea (not):
[The Troy proposal suggests] "qualifying the prohibition against “(c)eremonies that celebrate homosexual unions” by adding “except within annual conferences that have authorized such ceremonies”
By George, I think this is the solution to the homosexual crisis in the Methodist Church! We should prohibit it except where we allow it! That's it! In fact, the same type of solution would work on the War on Terror. Let the word go forth, you are either with us, or against us, except in those areas some of you are with us and some of you are against us. Such nuance. There is nothing underneath the Methodists' faith that some aren't willing to compromise for unity.
