Sundays, 11 am-12 pm, with Sandy Dhimitri in the Asbury classroom
Related to a likely split in our denomination, we will watch videos by Rev. Adam Hamilton of the United Methodist Church and Rev. Rob Renfroe, of the Global Methodist Church, describing their disparate views on issues facing the denomination.
We will watch one video from each perspective, with a discussion facilitated by Sandy, on 3/5 & 3/12. Each session will include a brief overview and can stand alone, so please join us for one or more of the sessions!

Also of interest: Joshua Lindsey, founder of the Ready for Harvest: Denominations Research website recently posted a video on YouTube, describing the anticipated split in the United Methodist Church (UMC). Lindsey’s video may be helpful context for understanding organizational aspects of the division in the UMC.
