The top ten MethodistThinker posts of 2009

December 28, 2009 by Editor

The following are our ten most-viewed posts of 2009 (the date of each post date is in parentheses):

  1. Adam Hamilton: ‘We are in desperate need of excellent preaching’ (Oct. 12)
  2. In Mississippi Conference, testimony from lesbian couple stirs controversy (June 29)
  3. Ed Tomlinson: Proposed amendments would ‘decimate connectionalism’ (March 26)
  4. Proposed amendments would separate UMC into ‘national entities’ (Feb. 27)
  5. John Ed Mathison: Seven concerns about the UMC (March 4)
  6. Billy Abraham on United Methodism: ‘There is no common faith among us’ (Jan. 29)
  7. Board of Church and Society sex-ed writer: Sex outside of marriage can be ‘moral, ethical’ (Sept. 4)
  8. Maxie Dunnam, Eddie Fox release videos on proposed amendments (April 17)
  9. Bishop Robert Schnase on ‘The Five Practices’ (Jan. 14)
  10. Lyn Powell on the new United Methodist membership vows (Jan. 26)

The top video clip of the year was an address by Connie Campbell and Renee Sappington, two homosexual women who spoke about their relationship as part of a worship service at the 2009 session of the Mississippi Annual Conference (that video is part of the #2 post listed above).

The most-listened-to MethodistThinker Podcast during the past 12 months was a May podcast featuring a 1960 sermon by the late Methodist missionary, E. Stanley Jones.

Happy New Year — and thanks for reading MethodistThinker.com!

    I want to give a special thanks to Joseph at MethodistThinker for keeping us informed on important denominational issues and for the delightful, inspiring devotionals.

    I am hopeful that this website becomes even more popular in this New Year and that 2010 will be a year of renewal for our church and our nation.

    We have sinned and done wrong. All this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not given attention to your truth.

    We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. O LORD, forgive!
