Have those of us in the Methodist tradition had the right theology around the sacrament of communion? Specifically, are we right to let anyone come to the table? A few today, including me, are of the mind that we would do well to reinvestigate this particular practice. I don't doubt the good intentions of those who welcome everyone to the table, but I have come to suspect that we are doing harm in this practice.
Jarrod Neal is fellow Global Methodist clergy. He doesn't agree with me, but that's okay. We have communicated via text and now we're going to actually talk through some of these things face to face for the benefit of an audience. So join us with your questions and contributions as we go live here in a minute.
I don't know why the live stream didn't work today. Here is what I did:
Reviewing Judicial Docket at the end.
Apparently Locals isn't processing my live streams this month. I'm not sure what the issue is. A supporter asked about this particular episode, so I uploaded it here for him (and anyone else who wants to go back).
Debra Baty is the head of Resources 4 Redemption, which is an effort aimed at spreading good information about sexual orientation and gender identity. She recently published an article about “sexual fluidity” and how it impacts our sanctification in Firebrand Magazine. It is a good piece, and Debra does worthy work. All believers in the West have to contend with the artificial ideas of the sexual revolution. There is nowhere we can go that these issues do not impact us. The only way out is through.
Debra has a personal story that is quite compelling. She is a trustworthy, thoughtful, and conscientious resource. All covenant Christian bodies need to know where they stand on these things, lest the evil one sow confusion. Now is the time to reflect upon these things. Days are coming when what we believe will be put to the test. If we have not prepared, then we cannot expect to prevail.

Hey I need to just cancel the rest of the week of PlainSpoken programming. Mama and baby are in decent health, but attention is needed at home.
