Travis preferred crispy fried road kill with bacon. Travis scribbled: I resigned from the Methodist Church when I was 23 y/o. lol...and I'm sure they've regretted it ever since. But maybe he's a member of Methodist-lite? But seriously, I'm sure the head of the Methodist Church could be proud of Travis' writings...if he knew of them. --- Methodism insists that personal salvation always implies Christian mission and service to the world. Scriptural holiness entails more than personal piety; love of God is always linked with love of neighbors and a passion for justice and renewal in the life of the world. Methodism has distinguished itself as a religious movement strongly tied to social issues. As father of the movement, John Wesley injected much of his own social philosophy into the movement as a whole. Wesley’s personal social philosophy was characterized by “an instructive reluctance to criticize existing institutions [which] was overborne by indignation at certain abuses which cried out for rectification.” The Methodist Church’s responses to injustices in society are embodiments of the Wesleyan traditions of mercy and justice. --- Yeah, that our Travis to a tee...not! -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
