In the United Methodist church their "pastors" are called "preachers". They have women "preachers" too.Name 10 Methodist pastors who believe in Heavenly Mother.
If a Minister or Pastor or Local Preacher is preaching from the pulpit, can you not imagine that there are others in the congregation that would believe what the Minister or Pastor or Local Preacher is preaching?Actually they are called Ministers or Pastors see examples. A Methodist Local Preacher is a layperson or deacon who has been accredited by a Methodist church to lead worship and preach on a regular basis.
So you IMAGINE there are others. How compelling.
Like you want me to give you names of who in Barker's congregation believes her? That would be tricky.
What other names are you talking about?
Yes, any name of her congregation who agrees with her would suffice for me.Like you want me to give you names of who in Barker's congregation believes her? That would be tricky.
What other names are you talking about?
There was no excuse needed, just the truth that there are obviously mainline Christians that believe in Heavenly Mother. Unless you think the Methodists are a cult too.
There is another OP for this.
A True Christian? I doubt it very much. Not all people who attend churches are Christians.
I don't have the time to do such a thing. But 1 is enough for our purposes. Just 1 preacher, preaching from the Methodist pulpit that there is a Heavenly Mother is enough to prove that other Christians, at least 1 other Christian believes there is a Heavenly Mother.Names of other Methodist ministers that believe in Heavenly Mother.

I figure that if I did do the research, at least for Barkers congregation, there would be many that believes like she does. And if I did a research project for the every Christian church in the world, I would find thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Christians that believed in a Heavenly Mother.
In fact Anto9us, a Christian tells us on the Barker OP that he believes there is a Heavenly Mother.
But for our purposes, 1 is enough.
Good research.Here's a Methodist minister who has heretical views too. There are lots of false teachers wearing robes.
Rev. Dr. Karen Oliveto
bishop of both the UMC's Rocky Mountain and Yellowstone Conferences
Married to Robin Ridenour, who is a deaconess in The United Methodist Church
Teaches Jesus was a bigot.

One can look at just about every major branch or denomination of Christianity and find fringe loonies. It's just ridiculous in my opinion to take fringe kooks and treat them as representative of any tradition. I can find some fairly wacky people in my own Lutheran tradition (e.g. Jakob Boehme), but fringe kooks don't get to represent the tradition as a whole.

You seem so proud of yourself to have 1 so-called Christian to support your heavenly mother notion. Can you answer the question of what the name of the church she preaches at? That may shed some light on this "gem" you've found.What is the name of her congregation?
I could not find what church she preaches from, but her bio says that she is a Methodist preacher and she has been given awards for her scholarship, even from the Archbishop of Canterbury, certainly a Christian institution.You seem so proud of yourself to have 1 so-called Christian to support your heavenly mother notion.

That she is not associated with any specific Methodist church, nor ever has been as far as I can find, is telling. She can think, teach, write, etc. whatever she wants, with no critical review of her works by the body of Christ. Some gem.I could not find what church she preaches from, but her bio says that she is a Methodist preacher and she has been given awards for her scholarship, even from the Archbishop of Canterbury, certainly a Christian institution.
It is not that I am so proud of anything, I just ran across this person and with all the funny business that drsteve gives us about a Heavenly Mother, I thought this was interesting that there are other Chrstians that believe this too. He responded that she is not a Christian by this forums standards?
The question is: Is this Christian Margaret Barker so upsetting to you that you would attack her Christianity, because she may believe that there is a Heavenly Mother? Is that so diabolical to you that you can even call her a non-Christian too, even though she is a Methodist preacher in England and obviously believes in the Trinity and that it is by grace that you are saved, not of works lest ye boast. That is the question.
