yo....dont be hatin on the methodists....methodism is really cool.
i go to a methodist church.
i'm not technically methodist (i'm a calvinist, yay!)
but still.
methodism focuses on the personal spiritual experience, unlike episcopalian, which J.W. found to be really cold and impersonal.
well, technically, J.W. split from the anglican church, but translated in to american, its episcopalian.
and plus yall, the new methodist hmmm....how should i say this....uh, saying is 'open minds, open hearts, open doors'
i tend to have a bit of trouble with that one, cuz some construe it very liberally, but in truth, its really great, cuz you dont have to subscribe to some certain doctrine to be a part of the methodist church, which is really cool.
the easiest way to get excommunicated from the methodist church is to become a preacher and go completely against the bishops and etc, which doesnt really happen.
and plus, who can hate a religion who's (unofficial) symbol is the casserole?
uh, that last one is an inside joke.
anyway.....methodism is really cool.
especially Texas Conference!!!!!
