Those who have been following this blog in recent days will know that I've come in for a lot of stick.
This follows the news that I am preparing to make a public stand and legal challenge against the discriminatory campaign now being waged through the Methodist Church by a small number of well connected individuals.
Last night I mentioned some of the more offensive notes and blog comments that have been made in recent days.
Today has been completely different. I've been in bed most of the day with a heavy cold. When I finally checked my email box and telephone calls this afternoon I discovered a flood of very positive and supportive messages. A great many people are holding this issue in prayer.
I've been delighted with the growing volume of messages of support from all over the Connexion. There is a deep unease within the Church and the wider Christian community at the stance being taken by Conference. I am surprised how many members feel that they are disenfranchised and disconnected from the decision making process. I thought it was just me, that I was alone.
To all those who have been in contact I'd like to say a big "thank you". Like every other believer I have feet of clay and have felt a little wobbly. Your prayers are much appreciated.![]()
