I went to a great UMC as a teenager.
Taught Sunday school, vbs, the works... At one point I considered entering the clergy and was leaning in to a way to further this end.
I loved it and had a balanced faith.
Then they replaced our amazing pastor with one who was an ex-Baptist preacher (who was kicked out of the baptist church for having an affair with and later marrying a lady in his congregation).
This guy totally destroyed the church after he made a pass at my mom and a few other ladies & after saying some rather concerning things about several children in the church family.
My faith and fervor to serve was consequently destroyed.
I guess my question is: why would the UMC allow a man like that to pastor such an already well-established church?
