Title A name given to the resource "A Model for Thinking Theologically About Homosexuality" Subject The topic of the resource LGBTQ+ South Dakota Annual Conference The United Methodist Church Description An account of the resource The document, A Model for Thinking Theologically About Homosexuality by M. Kent Millard, is a theological report presented to the Dakotas Area General and Jurisdictional Delegates of the United Methodist Church (UMC). Written by the Northern District Superintendent of the South Dakota Annual Conference, this report seeks to offer an alternative to the polarized debate over homosexuality within the church during the 1980 General Conference. The author emphasizes dialogue, understanding, and Christian compassion as essential components of addressing this contentious issue. Millard’s report is a response to the stark divisions within the UMC regarding homosexuality. On one side, there were calls to explicitly ban practicing homosexuals from ordination, while on the other, there were proposals to remove negative language about homosexuality from the church’s Book of Discipline. Rather than endorsing either extreme, Millard advocates for a process of theological education and reflection within local churches to foster understanding and compassion. It illustrates an effort to address the issue of homosexuality with intellectual rigor and pastoral care. It reflects the broader struggle within the denomination to balance tradition, scriptural interpretation, and evolving social values. By advocating for dialogue and education, Millard’s report seeks to bridge divides and foster a compassionate approach to an issue that continues to challenge the church.

Title A name given to the resource "After Wheatley, What?" Subject The topic of the resource LGBTQ+ Theology The United Methodist Church Wheatley, Melvin E. Description An account of the resource This document explores significant debates within the United Methodist Church (UMC) during the early 1980s, with a primary focus on doctrinal issues and the controversy surrounding Bishop Melvin E. Wheatley Jr. of the Denver Area. The controversy highlights tensions over UMC doctrine, particularly related to homosexuality, while emphasizing the broader struggle over theological interpretation and the church’s response to social change. The publication addresses the theological and doctrinal issues raised by accusations against Bishop Wheatley for his stance that homosexuality is not inherently sinful. These accusations reflect deeper conflicts within the UMC regarding doctrinal authority and the application of the church’s historical and scriptural teachings to contemporary issues. The controversy centered on whether Wheatley’s views on homosexuality violated UMC doctrinal standards. A Western Jurisdiction Committee on Investigation found no "reasonable ground" for a trial, noting that while there are scriptural condemnations of homosexuality, the interpretation of these passages is subject to the Wesleyan "quadrilateral" framework—Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. The committee emphasized the importance of integrating these four sources in a constructive dialogue rather than relying solely on scriptural literalism or traditional precedent. This document is a valuable historical resource for understanding the UMC’s struggles with doctrinal interpretation and social issues during the 1980s. It captures the complexities of applying historical teachings to contemporary contexts and illustrates the church’s ongoing efforts to balance tradition, inclusivity, and theological inquiry.

Title A name given to the resource 20 Questions About Homosexuality: A Political Primer Subject The topic of the resource LGBTQ+ Description An account of the resource This publication was created to address common questions and misconceptions about homosexuality. The preamble outlines the purpose of the document as a means of educating the public and dismantling myths that have historically justified discrimination against homosexuals. The Alliance emphasizes that such questions are often rooted in societal bias, misinformation, and stereotypes. The document is organized into a series of twenty questions, each addressing a specific aspect of homosexuality, with answers informed by scientific studies, personal experiences, and sociological insights. The topics range widely, covering definitions of homosexuality, the determination of sexual orientation, societal and historical perspectives, and specific stereotypes. The answers challenge discriminatory narratives and aim to affirm the civil rights and dignity of homosexual individuals. A significant theme in the publication is the critique of societal prejudices and the deconstruction of myths. This document serves as a critical artifact of the LGBTQ+ rights movement in the late 20th century. It reflects the strategies and rhetoric of advocacy groups during a time of significant cultural and legal challenges. The publication is not only a historical document but also a resource for understanding the intersection of activism, education, and social change.

Title A name given to the resource Affirm! Table Manners Newsletter, May 2000 Subject The topic of the resource LGBTQ+ The United Methodist Church United Methodism Description An account of the resource This is a newsletter published by Affirmation: United Methodists for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Concerns during the United Methodist Church's (UMC) General Conference in May 2000. It reflects advocacy efforts for the inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals within the UMC and critiques church policies and rhetoric that perpetuate discrimination. The document highlights the activities, speeches, and theological perspectives shared by members of the Affirmation coalition and their allies. This newsletter features a reprint of a press release issued after Jeanne Knepper delivered remarks critiquing the UMC’s Social Principles, particularly the language that states, “the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching.” Knepper argues that this language fosters violence and exclusion against LGBTQ+ individuals and ignores broader biblical themes of compassion, justice, and inclusion. The coalition prioritizes the removal of discriminatory language and policies, framing them as the church’s “Jim Crow” laws for LGBTQ+ individuals. The document provides insight into the strategies and rhetoric of LGBTQ+ advocates during a critical period in the denomination’s history. The involvement of diverse voices, including people of color, underscores the broad coalition supporting inclusivity and highlights the interconnected nature of various justice movements.
