Today’s guest article about the results of recent political choices by self-described United Methodist “centrists,” especially among clergy, is contributed by the Rev. Arthur Collins. Collins has been a longtime elder in the United Methodist Church’s Indiana Annual Conference, who transferred into the Global Methodist Church earlier this year. He has an MDiv from Asbury Theological Seminary and a PhD from Indiana State University.

The Rev. Adam Hamilton, prominent in the denomination’s self-described “Centrist” movement, serves as pastor for the Church of the Resurrection. Hamilton gave opening remarks, sharing a church campaign: “be Just, be kind, be humble,” based upon Micah 6:8. It is a campaign promoting Christians’ role in reconciliation in the community and country.
