Adam Hamilton's Bible Buckets

This past Wednesday, April 23, prominent United Methodist pastor Adam Hamilton spoke at Foundry UMC about his newest book Making Sense of the Bible. Hamilton is the pastor of the largest United Methodist congregation in the country, Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas. Hamilton is perhaps most famous for his failed proposal at the 2012 General Conference to change the Book of Discipline to acknowledge that United Methodists were divided on the issue of homosexuality.

IRD has reported at length about Foundry UMC, a Washington, D.C. “reconciling” congregation that voted in 2010 to allow same-sex marriage to be performed on the premises, a violation of the Book of Discipline. Foundry frequently invites guest speakers who espouse a liberal Christian view, including defrocked United Methodist pastors, NETWORK’s Sister Simone Campbell, and the first openly gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson.
