    Trying to Understand the Disaffliation Stuff

    I'm an associate member of a UMC. I'm trying to understand the disaffiliation stuff. Are the people that are leaving the UMC the ones that want it to stay conservative and the ones that are staying the ones that are liberal (LGBTQIA+ friendly) or is it the other way around? I've not been...

    Question about surrogacy

    After I'm feeling better, I'm thinking of writing a story, but need to do research . . . Wonder what a liberal UMC or a liberal ELCA congregation think of an unwed woman being a surrogate mother for a male gay couple. I don't know if I could realistically set it in Louisiana, or not...
