Winter is coming for the United Methodist Church.

This schism has been brewing for a few years now. It won't be the end of the Methodist Church, but an opportunity for a division between Traditional (pew warmers) and a more progressive direction such as the Baptist Church has taken. ;)

Personally, I welcome the change.

so, you think the UMC should embrace this progressive way of thinking, endorsing gay pastors, and such?

Didn't say that. Just saying a schism will eventually happen as did with the Episcopal Church and the new Anglican Diocese.

Both actually ended up doing well in the end once all of the divisive talk is over. The UMC and whatever grows out of the split will be the same.

Right or wrong, where doctrine is concerned, it is a win win vs the years of bickering that have been causing a minor exodus from the church.
