The United Methodist Church used the slogan in the headline a few years back to lure gay people and "other others" (e.g. blacks and Latinos) to the fold without overtly saying that "the gay," et al, are OK in the eyes of God.
The ruse was obnoxiously practical but not too effective.
The UMC last had gumption before the American Civil War. Now they're mealy-mouthed with no passion for any position. And you know what the B-I-B-L-E says about lukewarmedness:
From the King James Version: So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16
