How do you understand yourself as theologically conservative?

Pretty standard stuff. Apostles Creed, Authority (not inerrancy) of scripture, Christ’s atoning (not penal substitution), reality of resurrection, presence of Holy Spirit, Communion of the Saints. Not all UMC folks over the years bought some or all of these. That may make me “relatively conservative”). I hesitate to make a list for fear of being attacked for whatever I left out! But you wouldn’t do that to me after all these years!

Not about routines

and regulations , but a relationship with the living. Christ!. “You must be born again!”
