What a nice letter of agreement from the United Methodist leaders locally (“Churches welcome inclusion,” Our Readers’ Views, May 14).

Most have disagreements in theology, namely how the church considers LGBTQ+ ministers and congregants. The Bible and their Book of Discipline are no longer relevant.
