		A well-financed movement is attempting to kidnap The United Methodist Church—the ransom demanded being capitulation by the church’s leaders to the movement’s definition of Christian orthodoxy.
		It means that United Methodists of all theological perspectives can gather at a round table and discuss the relevance of their doctrinal heritage for living in the world of the twenty-first century, without any particular theological perspective being allowed to camp out in the chair.

In it there are none of the passwords of Good News fundamentalism.
