Question For Methodists Raises Nonbeliever in Church Projects
In Portland a debate before the United Methodist Governing Conference centers on whether nonbelievers should participate in church sponsored community programs. Gloria Perez, a Mexican American atheist, works in a Chicago development project, with church leaders split over whether staff must be followers of Jesus Christ. Perez defends her role, saying she helps solve housing and education problems and focuses on community needs rather than evangelism. Church officials note no legal requirement for belief, though some leaders insist employees represent Christian faith.
