This evening the United Methodist Church voted on three major pieces of legislation and I watched almost all of it through live-streaming.  We voted to change the Social Principles on Human Sexuality (which I’ve already linked once) to strengthen the language that says homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching.  We voted down a minority report that would have strengthened pastoral authority in admitting new members to the church but we also voted down the majority report so the language stays the same.  And finally we voted, by a 70% majority to keep the disciplinary language the way it is regarding the ordination of homosexuals which means that we will not ordain them.

I don’t know if anyone cares all that much but I thought I would share it for those interested
