Our Methodist Church in Clayton, GA, which I am a member, has not come out and said whether they agree or disagree with a decision made by a Methodist preacher in Virginia. The Methodist Church my dad belongs to in Minnesota has said they disagree.
Any church that is a Christian Church that upholds or will publicly discriminate against anyone needs to ask the question, What Would Jesus Do?
In the past the Clayton United Methodist Church's preacher has been outspoken about his stance on gays. While he has never spoken in favor of that type of life style, he has never said anything that would make you think he would support discrimination. If I hear a sermon or a message from our church agreeing with banning a member or being discriminatory, I will have to find another church to belong.
I am one that thinks most protests are unwarranted. It seems to me that lots of protests are designed to get media attention of the protest itself, not what they're actually protesting. I somehow think what Hennipen Methodist Church in Minnesota is doing is more heart felt.
