  1. Duke University has historic ties to the Methodist Church. Interestingly, it has the same motto, Eruditio et Religio, as Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky which also has a Methodist history. The UMC churches in small southern towns are very conservative compared to those in university cities. My church has always had mildly liberal pastors until recently. The present one is a bible literalist and endorses speaking in tongues. The conservative congretation is wild about him. They have been hoping for years for someone like him. It is a perfect match for the congregation. Their glee is matched by my gloom.
  2. I am a member of the UMC in the southern U.S. The congregation is very conservative. The northern and western Methodist churches are very liberal. The United Church of Christ is probably the most liberal of Christian churches. They seem to be one step below a Unitarian. There is a developing schism in the UMC between the conservatives and liberals. It may come to a head at the General Conference which begins on April 27. I am elderly and live in a small town otherwise I would join the United Church of Christ. The closest one is 65 miles away. Glenn Wilhite
