First, the question I asked you about UMC/GMC in the Melissa interview are actually what is being addressed in THIS podcast. BUT, in this podcast near the 20 minute mark, Dr Bounds has used the “word” GMC several times when I was expecting to hear him say UMC…but now at 24:30 he has said UMC. Is this his slip of the tongue?, or is there actually talk within the GMC regarding sexual acceptance (like the UMC)???? Please.
So thankful for this discussion. It reminds me of Wesley when he said, forgive me for the inaccurate quote, he preceded the “think and let think” quote with, “as long as it doesn’t strike at the root of Christianity.” I came to the thought if one can redefine the definition of sin ( which we cannot), then do you need the cross? Christ died for our sin in accordance with the scriptures, He was buried and He was raised on the 3 rd day in accordance with the scriptures. The root is the Cross of Jesus.
In context of Dr. Bounds' comments about the episcopal government: how is the GMC adapting or eliminating the episcopal model so that this 'problem' does not repeat in a few decades? What safeguards are being put in place to prevent the leadership from overriding the wishes of the conferences and individual churches at the doctrinal level?

The UMC would rather be popular than follow the teachings of Jesus.
