I’ve only just now realized that no one in the UMC is going to change their minds. The only thing I see happening is that the LGBT will be more resented afterwards.

Chicken in Church (and It’s Not Potluck)
I asked for conversation and they attacked. I say they're chicken... If I were still a minister, I'd be embarrassed at their answers.
Not Experiencing God
I won't continue to pursue a relationship with someone who has ignored me my entire life.
One of My Biggest Regrets
I later apologized for my anger but every week when I had to see that guy in church, I had to resist the urge to grab him by the lapels, pin him to the wall, and express my feelings.
An Awful Power
When I was a pastor I never practiced that “faith healing” crap. Yet even with my muted style, I could see people looking at me, waiting for a holy message to make them feel less desperate. It disturbed me to be given so much power.
No More Church Buildings
New buildings make churches smaller.
I Thought I Would Be Angry
My anger faded quickly once I left the church.
