			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was raised in a Methodist church. I haven’t forgotten who brung me to the dance, but I also haven’t forgotten the laugh riot that is the UMC. Ready… Get set…</p>
<p>You might be a Methodist if… (Go!)</p>
<ol>
<li>The building fund is more important than the tithe.</li>
<li>You believe Jesus saves people from their sins— you just aren’t sure everyone has sin and needs saving.</li>
<li>You believe women can and should be ordained— but you don’t want to ordain them.</li>
<li>No one in the congregation actually knows what the denomination as a whole believes.</li>
<li>Your church has to have a traditional and contemporary service, otherwise World War III will break out over the music used during worship.</li>
<li>You have been in the same church all your life but have gone through 27 new pastors.</li>
<li>You have never been a Catholic, yet carry around the same amount of guilt.</li>
<li>A committee meeting is required to determine whether or not to repair a broken window in the sanctuary.</li>
<li>You can somehow make every situation in life relate to grace in some way.</li>
<li>You’ve ever wondered why “Blessed Assurance” is in your hymnal.</li>
<li>The majority of your congregation consists of Baptists who are only Methodists because they don’t want to be called Baptists.</li>
<li>You actually know the pledge to the Christian flag and the pledge to the Bible.</li>
<li>You think a new slogan covers a multitude of sins.</li>
<li>Your church has ever canceled Sunday evening services due to the Super Bowl.</li>
</ol>
