Very interesting. It pleases me to know more of Methodism history. Difference of opinions is historical and I am now comfortable being in a UMC, although I strongly disagree with their politics. Our tithes go to the local church to operate and donate directly to worthy organizations and not to the region UMC hierarchy. I'm tired of seeking the "perfect" church. That does not exist, but love for Jesus and His word are what I follow. God bless.

So glad you enjoyed the article! God bless you as you try to remain faithful in the UMC, Vicki.
