Dear Editor,
The year 2021 will be a deciding point for the Methodist Church in the UK.
In 2019 the Task Group, appointed by the Methodist Conference, published a report entitled God In Love Unites Us. This report recommends a change to the definition of marriage, to sanction cohabitation, and to allow marriage between same-sex couples to be held in Methodist chapels. In order to redefine marriage and to promote marriage between same-sex couples, it has been necessary to reinterpret many passages in the Bible to accommodate these changes. This in turn will require the Doctrines of the Methodist Church to be rewritten.
