Not so safe topic - links to the UMC Stroud decision

Shane Raynor comments on the Beth Stroud verdict being overturned on appeal.

UMC News link.

Don't see anything on Christianity Today's website, but here's a link to them which will show it when they do.

The Reconciling Congregations reaction. (posted 4/29/2005 and I don't see a permalink so you may have to scroll or search for it later)

Reaction from The Institute on Religion & Democracy.

My reaction? I like what Shayne Raynor said. I'm beginning to wonder about all that talk about schism last year. Not that the person who proposed it desired that it happen, but rather that he was describing what was in effect already reality. This is probably a good time to go back and reread 1 Corinthians 12-14.

It's also time to remember that the one who fronted the "Unity Resolution," new Bishop John Schol, was a "character" witness at the Stroud trial, acknowledged there he was complicit in the cover-up of her sexual orientation, and since General Conference has come out blatantly in favor of homosexual ordination.
