Pro-Gun United Methodists.

[mcafeesd]

I want to thank everyone who commented and offered their sage wisdom on this subject. We are now kicking the idea around in our congregation about starting an official shooting club. Lots of things to consider and sort out, but we have faith... I also appreciated some of the funny, tongue in cheek comments. It is true that the pitch-in dinner is the most Holy of gatherings for United Methodists. I'll keep checking to see if anyone else has anything to contribute. Now I have to go find a forum about organizing a gun club...

I am a clergy person in this denomination. I would rather redeem it than abandon it to the progressives.

I am a Methodist here in Indianapolis. I am now curious, do you think your view is in the minority

I am a Methodist and have never heard anyone from the church make a anti gun commit. I carry at church always. I feel if God doesn't want me to carry he will stop me or persuade my heart to not carry.

Good question. I believe that it is in the minority for the leadership of the Denomination. Not in the minority for the people in the pews in Indiana. That disconnect is disconcerting. First that the leadership would take an official stance that does not seem to coincide with those who pay the freight. Second that so many in the pews donot realize what is perpetrated, politically, in their name.

In the local church you would most likely not hear anything. However, check our official Social Principles and the political work done by our boards and you will discover a different picture.
