United Methodist Sayings

#1. First of all, do I think there's some racists in the Tea Party? Yeah. I'm an ordained United Methodist pastor; there's some racists in the Methodist church. I don't know if there's a body that does not have some racists in it.

#2. I grew up in the United Methodist Church, and church was always a very big part of my growing up.
