Our inaugural episode deals with the topics of the ultimatums that the Wesleyan Covenant Association has made since the UMCs large shift away from the Protocol, the Judicial Council ruling on Paragraph 2548.2, where the Oklahoma Annual Conference currently stands with respect to disaffiliating congregations, and the urged exodus of conservative churches by leaders of their caucuses. Guest Rev. Rudy Freese joins in the analysis with me.
