[QUOTE="kingfish, post: 3907584, member: 50496"] Initially nothing really changes. Some members have told me they would walk away under the principle of the matter. Most would probably just take a wait and see position. The UMC has a policy of rotating out their clergy every few years. If the Oklahoma Bishop wanted to push the issue, he could send us a sis-gendered same sex married pastor. Not really a likely scenario knowing they probably would kill off the church and the Okla. state conference is conservative and will vote that way. The most likely problem would be that some activist would try to force the issue by asking our pastor to perform a same sex marriage in our church. If he refuses, they could raise a stink causing him to be relieved and not sure what they would do to the church as a whole. Maybe take back the building and dissolving the current membership role. You would then have to reapply for membership and take a training course following the woke agenda before you could rejoin. That likely be the death knell for the church. [/QUOTE]
