Roughly a year ago, I was summoned to the office of Bishop Jimmy Nunn of the Oklahoma Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church to be intimidated and threatened in response to questions I had been asking about conference finances. This video is a recounting of things said and done around that disciplinary action, acknowledging benevolence, while also highlighting the dysfunction of the UMC’s bureaucratic leadership. I believe these dynamics are replicated throughout the US within the UMC. It is my hope that this recounting will be something to strengthen, empower, and equip clergy and laity who will (I pray) choose to continue speaking boldly and loudly about UMC toxicity and dysfunction.
