The one in California I know best is in or near Milpitas, where my friend
Cliveden Haas goes. Their outreach is homosexuality as being natural and
historically accepted. The research she has done in studying for the
ministry taught me LOTS which had been put underground by more recent
prejudices in our culture. And the Bible has way more criticism of usury
(charging interest on loans) than it has against homosexuality. Those are
Methodists too.
