ST. LOUIS (Feb. 26) — The final day of General Conference is underway. We’re monitoring the reactions of Holstonians both here and back home, on social media and in the secular media.
Here’s a blog that came in from the Rev. Buzz Trexler, a veteran news editor; longtime member of Holston’s Communications Advisory Council; photographer for The Call; and of course, pastor.
“We in The United Methodist Church are suffering from schizophrenic theological practices — and I use that adjective with no disrespect to those who suffer from mental illness. But is there a better word to portray this contradiction when it comes to those who are self-professing gay Christians in The United Methodist Church?” Read the blog.
