[Magdalen] UMC TV Ads

[Jim Guthrie]

I'm thinking more about UMS, LDS, UCC etc campaigns vs the TEC's incompetence.

Cheers,
Jim

Not bad...for an outfit that rejected gay marriage.

The Lutheran church I go to partners with the UMC across the street on a
lot of community service projects. The social gospel, at least, seems to be
alive and well over there. One of my dear friends in Tennessee, who grew up
Roman Catholic and was estranged from all church for a long time, is now a
lay minister in the UMC and very active in mission work (mostly in health
care--she's a nurse) and was for a time one of the parish nurses in the
church she attends.
