United Methodists have always been a very liberal and progressive church. This isn’t a gimmick or boost for the masses but bringing their teachings in line with their sayings.

The adage if youre looking to split hairs and divide your Methodists is the united Methodists were always more free and the free Methodists more united.

Its a broad tent, most of which didn't directly mean evangelical when I grew up, but there's still free Methodists that don't believe in dancing.

Openly serving gay and lesbian clergy was the hot gossip 20 years ago, it's been a slow move but they got there.
