MORE METHODIST SCHISM ISSUES

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

The blog continues to receive a number of inquiries and commentary about the "schism" issues currently affecting the Methodist denomination. These are best directed to the particular Methodist church you are affiliated with. "Going to the source" is the best way to obtain up-to-date accurate information.  

Even if you are not affiliated with this denomination, there are many sources to properly answer any questions and other forums for your thoughts. Good luck.

In the meantime, there are numerous thoughtful articles on these issues at a site called CROSSWALK---do your own searching there please---Crosswalk | Crosswalk.com--as well as a link to the breakaway GLOBAL METHODIST FB PAGE The Global Methodist Church | Facebook
