Over the past few days, the Methodist blogosphere devoted great time and energy to the church court case of Rev. Beth Stroud, UMC. Here are the posts which address the subject.
After I compose this post, I will write another lenghty, general MBWR.

i am curious to think about how this part of the church gets so much attention and energy when there are many issues that warrant this type of response. thanks for all you do with helping to bring everyone together john. shalom
Nothing brings people together quite like fighting with each other. You'll notice the WesleyBlog comment threads that topped 60 comments, which is not norm.
i noticed the comments on wesleyblog and i've noticed the people going nuts on the umc messageboards. it's crazy.
Is it crazy?
From the liberal perspective, don't homosexuals have a right to serve in the ordained ministry?
From the conservative perspective, should Biblical standards and the Book of Discipline be upheld?
This is a major issue, and should be addressed.
