Reflection: United Methodist bishops speak for and against the current position in the church’s Book of Discipline. One United Methodist clergyman who recently brought charges against another because he officiated at a same sex wedding has a piece in his church February newsletter: “I love hearing stories from people about how warm, friendly and nurturing the Central Church family is,” he writes. “I am proud of this dimension of our family which is so clearly distinguished among our ranks. Let’s continue to excel in our strengths and  play to a sweet-spot.” A community that is warm, friendly and nurturing – and has a reputation for being so – does have something to be proud of. But to bring a charge against a colleague, and then to express disappointment because the punishment did not, in his opinion, adequately fit the severity of the crime … it seems more than a little disingenuous to claim “warmth, friendliness and nurturing” as defining qualities for his community.
