Durante mi infancia estuve en la UMYF y pas\u00e9 mucho tiempo en la escuela media y secundaria con amigos de all\u00ed.  Al alejarme en los a\u00f1os de universidad, prob\u00e9 otros lugares: pas\u00e9 alg\u00fan tiempo en la Uni\u00f3n Estudiantil Bautista, pero nunca encaj\u00e9 realmente all\u00ed.  M\u00e1s tarde, en la escuela de posgrado, empec\u00e9 a asistir a una iglesia unitaria universalista y fui bastante activo con ellos incluso despu\u00e9s de conseguir mi primer trabajo en el \"mundo real\".  Pero hace m\u00e1s de 20 a\u00f1os volv\u00ed a la Iglesia Metodista Unida, e incluso trabaj\u00e9 para la di\u00f3cesis cat\u00f3lica de Nashville, pero el \"metodismo\" segu\u00eda llam\u00e1ndome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poco me imaginaba que finalmente har\u00eda caso a la \"llamada\" y comenzar\u00eda a ser Oradora Laica, luego me convertir\u00eda en candidata para obtener la licencia y, unos a\u00f1os m\u00e1s tarde, \u00a1recibir\u00eda un nombramiento!  La Iglesia Metodista Unida siempre ha estado ah\u00ed para m\u00ed y hay un cierto grado de lealtad, pero es m\u00e1s que eso.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La diversidad de pensamiento y debate ha formado parte de la historia de la Iglesia desde el principio.  Desde la Iglesia cristiana primitiva, pasando por la Reforma, las divisiones denominacionales e incluso dentro del Metodismo a lo largo de nuestra historia, hemos discutido y discutimos, nos hemos dividido, hemos vuelto a unirnos, hemos encontrado puntos en com\u00fan y hemos sobrevivido.  Y s\u00e9 que esta es otra parte de todo este proceso.  Tenemos desacuerdos, pero en el centro de todas nuestras discusiones, la \u00daNICA cosa que me mantiene aqu\u00ed y la \u00daNICA cosa que todos deber\u00edan recordar es el relato de Mateo 22: 36-40 donde se le pregunt\u00f3 a Jes\u00fas cu\u00e1l era el mayor mandamiento.  No entr\u00f3 en una lista de peque\u00f1os detalles y cosas que ser\u00edan divisivas, sino que respondi\u00f3 simplemente con lo que nos lleva al coraz\u00f3n de la iglesia: \"Amar\u00e1s al Se\u00f1or tu Dios con todo tu coraz\u00f3n y con toda tu alma y con toda tu mente\".<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Es aqu\u00ed, en la Iglesia Metodista Unida, donde todav\u00eda podemos tener diferencias de opini\u00f3n sobre metodolog\u00eda y procedimientos, pero en el fondo seguimos reconociendo la \u00daNICA cosa que nos mantiene unidos en Cristo:  El amor.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been associated with the Methodist Church literally all of my life.\u00a0 Growing up I was in the UMYF and spent lots of time in middle school and high school [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-communications-news","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
