Sorry to hear that you have compromised the truth of the gospel, regarding human sexuality. The great falling away is upon us, and right at the brink of our Lord's Soon Coming. If you were fired from PLNU or San Diego First Church of the Nazarene for a compromised view on traditional marriage between one man and one woman, allying with the LGBTQIA agenda, you came to an expected end, that I fully support as a Nazarene. When you attached yourself to the Church Of The Nazarene, you knew of their core values, church bylaws, articles of faith, etc....IF your views were dissimilar upon joining the Church of the Nazarene, joining as a dissenter, you were lacking in personal, spiritual and social honesty and Integrity. And YES....THE UMC has long been known to fill their pulpits with those who have given the The Divinely Inspired and Authoritative Word of God, and The Word of God made human Flesh, our Lord Jesus Christ.....the JUDAS KISS!!!!! REPENT.
First, my departure from San Diego had absolutely nothing to do with LGBTQ+ issues. Second, I haven’t been a member of the CON for a decade or more. Third,t he whole point was that the GS’s shifted social positions to doctrinal status, so this wouldn’t have been a credential issue for Dee even 22 months ago. Fourth, you are wrong about the role of the gospel in the UMC. It is preached weekly across the country. Finally, you are under no obligation to subscribe to my SubStack.

I left the Church of the Nazarene to serve as a pastor in the United Methodist Church decades ago. It's been a breath of fresh air. The UMC is far from perfect, but I'm sure I speak for my colleagues when I say we'd love to have Dee and any others who can't take revanchist actions of church leadership that needs to bully people into toeing the line.
