Methodists reaffirm liberal stance amid abortion and aid talk
The United Methodist Church reaffirmed its traditional sexual standards while backing liberal actions. Delegates endorsed economic justice against corporations and militarism, tightened abortion guidance, condemned English-only language moves, and urged a Royal Dutch Shell boycott amid apartheid concerns. The conference kept bans on active homosexuals, approved a $410 million quadrennial budget, and adopted a gender-neutral hymnal with 330 new songs.
