The UMC Schism Unfolds

[Mendalla]

There's a UU congregation here that used to occupy a decommissioned Anglican Church. Not sure if they owned or rented it. They are now renting space in a United Church (not the sanctuary). It's a good location right on the subway line.

Toronto First has also moved. Not sure what's up with them.

We looked at space in a UCCan church but it would have have forced a change in our service time and our humanist crowd didn't want to be in a space full of theistic symbolism. Not sure they are as powerful anymore. That crowd was dwindling due to age even then.

The A Jede passed ... plae 'd by Odin? Diabolical sophistication ... many dismissed IT!

Saw this in the Canadian press about the UMC situation. It talks mostly about how congregations are reaching out to those who opposed their own church's decisions (both people whose congregations left when they wanted to stay and people whose churches voted to remain when they wanted them to leave).

Some worshippers switching congregations amid United Methodist split over LGBTQ issues

What a freakin' mess. Ready to Harvest, a YouTube channel that looks at Christian denominations and the myriad reasons they exist, reviews some of the events and controversies of the UMC situation.

In the divide and conquer mode ... for those standing for separation of sol and essence ... thoughts arise!

Maybe conjunction is not that good except for the skitz ... portions thus drift according to bipolar theory ... polity personified?

Best is watching from off stage ...
