    2019 UMC General Conference?

    I would love to go if it was only a little closer. I'm wondering if there will be a public online stream that will be accessible during the conference?

    Do you mind being labelled Protestant?

    I personally don't know of anyone who would be offended at being called a Protestant, and I certainly don't either.

    Communion too rushed?

    That is the way my church does it, and it really makes it feel like a special and significant part of the worship service. I really love it. I would have the same feelings as you OP, I would not enjoy rushing communion at all.

    What is some "Common Christian Wisdom" that you've learned isn't true?

    I really love that perspective. To me that seems like a much more powerful and meaningful way to see the Word of God. :amen:

    Happy Birthday Charles Wesley!

    I love the hymns of Charles Wesley. One of them that really struck me this Christmas season that I haven't heard until this year was "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" and it was very moving!

    The Methodist Church and LGBT Rights

    I support the current language in the Book of Discipline, so I would be opposed to any changes. I would certainly be upset if churches would be allowed to perform marriage ceremonies for homosexual couples. A change probably wouldn't make me leave my church, but I can't say for certain. This...

    Being Christian and university student.

    I am currently attending a university, and I can't say I have ever seen blatant hostility towards Christianity in any class I have taken. When discussing topics concerning religion, most professors approach it very respectfully. As Liberasit mentioned, most universities have church and campus...

    Should we Baptize "with scrutiny"

    Very interesting post Pastor, and I do agree with the position you take. Perhaps having a child baptized can help a family see the love and support that their local congregation can give them or the family draws closer to God through the ceremony? I definitely don't know how common this is, but...

    Bishops

    Hello everyone! Recently I have been wondering if there is a large amount of difference between the way Methodists see bishops and the way groups like the Anglicans see bishops. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

    Happy Sunday!

    It would definitely be great if the sermons or it's outlines started to be posted online. I will definitely bring it up to my pastor (hopefully without being too much of an annoyance :blush:). And your sermon series sounds very interesting! I pray it will go well! I don't know how helpful...
