response to decisions made by the United Methodist Church

My brother, Aaron Laudermith has spoken out and made a decision in reaction to the decision made on April 30th by the United Methodist Church not to accept Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Transgender persons as members of their church. I have not yet decided what action I am going to take, besides continuing to stand up for my LGBT family and friends. But I am also very hurt by this decision and something needs to be done in love to continue to reach out to people who don't understand that they are killing the body of the church and hurting Jesus' followers. People who believe that all persons are created equal and deserve equal rights in the church need to continue to reach out to our brothers and sisters in Christ and teach them to love with out discrimination. I have included the link to my brothers blog so you can read his feelings and reactions to this decision and I say dido. The second link will show you a video of the witness taken by people at General Conference on May 1st in reaction to the United Methodist decision on church membership.
