Bishop Ernest Lyght has shared with me the letter of the president of Asbury Theological Seminary responding to Asbury students, etc. who have publicly disagreed with the Traditional Plan and its Asbury supporters. Bishop Lyght has called my attention to this portion of the letter:
“We believe that those who are demanding that the Church change its position regarding the Christian view of the body and human sexuality have not offered a compelling biblical, historical, and theological case for such a dramatic change in the historic ethic of the Church." –Timothy C. Tennent, President, Asbury Theological Seminary
I suggest that reflection, discussion, and responding to these words, shaped by prayer, could shape a United, not divided UMC, for the 21st Century. My thoughts: [on UM-Insight]
