This is what happens when a woman is placed in a leadership role in. church. It ain't supposed to happen. Luckily my church wont ever put up signs. We aren't a bunch of liberals.

Inform her she is not welcome!

When is the next Annual Conference? (I was raised in the Methodist Church.) Sounds like time for a change at your church... get your paperwork in early. Maybe she'd like to pastor in New York or California.

It sounds like the pastor needs to read this part of the Bible.


Even Jesus told people to arm themselves.

Sell your garment and buy a sword? So we need naked men with weapons. The bible says so.

Of course JackT will CCW naked.

I spent a lot of time with a minister with the Salvation Army, and he had his CCW.
A lot of their soup kitchens were close to skid row. One time a man came up to him
when he left the kitchen, and tried to rob him. He pulled his gun and the guy
retreated really fast. For weeks after that incident, every time we walked by a
group sitting or laying on the benches etc, you would hear them talking about
"Preacher carries a Gun"

We always got a laugh out of it.

Well, just to balance this discussion. I was told by one of my FEMALE pastors at church that concealed and/or open carry are not prohibited. Basically, just don't act crazy and you'll be ok. Also, there needs to be security in church, and today reaffirmed my belief of that. During the 10:30am service, a young lady walked out of the crowd and onto the stage while the people were singing and started to cause a ruckus. Then in the 12:30pm service, a young black man with sunglasses and stereo headphones comes down during a song which was during prayer time. Several people approached him asking if he wanted to be prayed with (this was the time of service when you would do that) and he said that he wanted to pray with someone, but that he wanted to choose who it was that prayed with him. He started to cause a scene and this large, intimidating black guy named Tony that is our church security came up to him and spoke with him and that made the man even more upset. He started to get agitated and said "So that is how you do things here." and tony told him that he could get someone to pray with him, but that it needed to be done outside at that point. All in all I was very impressed with how Tony, the head of security handled the situation, and it just goes to reinforce what I have been told in the past. I go to one of the mega-churches in OKC that accepts EVERYONE, and when you accept EVERYONE, regardless of race, clothing, income level, cleanliness, ETC., ETC., you can sometimes get people that have real problems and can be a danger to themselves and others.

There is no move by the methodist conference to inact a no firearms policy that I know of. The main office by ocu is not posted. I know two ds's that carry and several pastors. If she keeps it up contact the ds and request a new appointment

I agree too. Talk to the district superintendent. She need to go some where else if she is trying to destroy the safe sanctuary. If she has not been to the Methodist safe sanctuary training, she need to go. Congregation can ask her to go some where else at annual charge conference too. CCW will makes it safer.

What is her name? Will make sure she will not be coming to my Church. Will bring her out to shoot some gun. Lol

A woman pastor? That is not in the bible. I am a pastor and have several members who have their ccw and I encourage them to carry in church. If I had a ccw I would carry in church.

This ^^^^^^...a million times this^^^^^
