You know, this is something to which I'm looking forward with Great Anticipation and Excitement.
For decades, the United Methodist Church has been one of the most liberal establishments.
For decades, the United Methodist Church, while losing adherents in the western world, has slowly gained adherents in the third world, most notably western Africa.
At the last big international meeting of the United Methodist Church, last summer I think it was, delegates from western Africa were 40% of the whole church; the next time they have another one of those meetings, the western Africans will be the majority of United Methodists.
Western African Methodists don't want any of these things European-derived decadent affluent white Methodists want.
When they're in the majority, bye-bye to this "world peace" and "peaceful coexistence" and "gay rights" and possibly even women ministers and all this other stuff.
It's going to be great fun to watch.
