28. My favorite minister was at a UMC but he was black and moved to Chicago.

When they replaced him with a white minister who had FORMERLY been a Baptist minister, the tone changed and I left.

My Dad was raised Methodist and the deepest part of the faith is that they expect people to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

So it depends on the specific church sometimes.
