Rev. Frank, as a member of a local UMC here in TX, I want you to know that I stand with you and apologize for the way you were treated. What specifically would you recommend members who want the Book of Discipline changed do to help bring change? I love the "take our church back" stance. It is not about "tolerance" it is about acceptance and embracing diversity.

The United Methodist Book of Discipline is a living document. It changes with time as needed to reflect a better understanding of doctrine and social issues. This is one thing that I like about it. Changing it is difficult and causes lots of strife and hurt, but it is good that it can't be changed 180 degrees every 4 years when the conference meets.

you can't respond because those same people can't grasp that some words were mis-translated. They seem forgetful most of Bible was written down only after years of oral storytelling, and that it was not written in English.

bullshit they don't.
