Ashley I was born into a Methodist family but I did not stay. I have many Methodist friends. I have been told that the heads have kicked this can down the road. I was told a bishop was ordained and then declared she was gay and sued the Methodist Church. I know Jesus accepts all his children and that the church is a human institution run by humans. I will be interested in what the conference decides or have they already decided? I hope you stay if it is where you want to be. I am not clergy just a follower of Jesus. God bless you.
