The United Methodist Church and Creationism

The United Methodist Church’s Quadrennial Conference will be in Tampa this month. One topic up for discussion: creationism. Will the Church’s current science friendly stance be reversed?

A resolution has been introduced to remove the word evolution from the Book of Discipline. Another has been introduced to retract the endorsement of The Clergy Letter Project and Evolution Weekend. And still a third has been introduced to delete the Church’s clear opposition to creationism in the science classroom.

If you’re one of the 12 million members of the denomination, speak up loudly and let your representatives to the Quadrennial Conference know your feelings. There are 998 delegates and you can find out who represents you by contacting your local annual conference office or the United Methodist Church general headquarters.
