The upheaval in The United Methodist Church over the passage (in 2019) of a legalistic, punitive, and graceless set of new "laws" in the United Methodist rulebook, the Book of Discipline, has helped me clarify my own commitments of faith. Yes, I'm former clergy (Nebraska Conference) but never have I been so clear as I am right now that these are the central commitments and values in my faith journey:
I'm committed to inclusion and to Wesley's emphasis on grace. God's grace is for all, preveniently (before someone even knows God), justifying (as one comes into communion with God), and sancifying (as one grows in grace).
Living in grace includes living with respect for all people, beings, and creation, even when these might threaten to overwhelm, harm, and just plain disagree.
Sin is "missing the mark" of the good life God has for each person uniquely, based on our gifts and graces as given by God in the first place.
Forgiveness is offered freely by God when we honestly recognize our distance from God and the marks we have missed, and our relationship with God is restored and even enhanced.
I'm committed to the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, the method John Wesley outlined for ethical and theological reflection on issues of living: a reliance on Scripture, interpreted carefully in its historical context; Tradition, the wisdom of the sweep of Christian thought, theology, and practice; Reason, using the powers of reasoning to puzzle out all areas of human life, including scientific study and theological reflection; Experience, especially the experience of Christian believers in their journeys of faith.
I'm also committed to the Wesleyan Way of personal and social "holiness," a lifestyle of reflection, study, prayer, and meditation personally and expressed in action to improve the conditions of life for all people, societies, and the earth itself.
These factors lead me to be involved in the struggle for understanding and fully integrating those who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer,* Intersex, and Asexual into the life of the church, especially The United Methodist Church. I think that the UMC and particularly the "Traditionalists" and some other conservatives have ignored or dismissed the science of sexuality, sexual differentiation, gender, and orientation, as well as the Christian Experience of LGBTQIA believers. In addition, the "traditional" view of same-gender sexual behavior appears to be based on a literalistic reading of faulty translations of specific words, especially in the English Bible. Details of this problem are amply addressed in this bibliography.
See my bibliography based on the Wesleyan Quadrilateral for sources for some of my commitments in the area of sexuality, sexual differentiation, sexual orientation, gender.
So in summary, yes, I have a point of view and will say it to whomever will listen!
*"Queer" was a pejorative epithet reclaimed by activists to cover a wide spectrum of non-heterosexual, cis-gender folk. See this article (one of many).
