Kick off - Guardians of the United Methodist

Join us - as we energize the #StayUMC @ Bethany group into volunteering and taking a more active role in the future of Bethany.  

We are committed to staying together, inclusive changes needed, re-emerging via the Spirit and healing as a congregation. 

This site is not a representation of any specific group.   The name has been changed to  "Guardians of the United Methodist" from "StayUMC @ Bethany" since this site will be a collection of anyone who believes all Methodists should live in a single connectional network, specifically the UMC network. 

The goal of the Guadian's blog/pages is to communicate the views of those who are committed to #StayUMC @ Bethany under a single connectional network based on Wesleyan principles. 

Our goals of the #StayUMC @ Bethany are:

• Work towards getting as many members to vote NO to Disaffiliation.
• Provide a vision for an inclusive and affirming church - where ALL are welcomed, including traditionalist, progressives and centrist
• Provide a common place to get resources and hear advocates for #StayUMC
• If you want Bethany UMC to become a genuine inclusive church for all, vote to #StayUMC.   

(Note:  If your God is calling you to independence, we want you to hear - we love you and want you in our church.  However you vote,  we will honor and affirm your viewpoints.  To the Glory of God. )
