Orthodox United Methodists

The word for the day is orthodox. I learned of how it is being used in the Methodist church from our Minister's wife. It is a much better term than conservative. Why is this the word of the day?  The United Methodist Church is facing some very tough decisions in the near future. Orthodox describes our local church and conference. The articles listed below represent a good summary of what has been going on since General Conference.

Orthodox
1. (of a person or their views, especially religious or political ones, or other beliefs or practices) conforming to what is generally or traditionally accepted as right or true; established and approved.

2. of the ordinary or usual type; normal.
synonyms: conservative, traditional, observant, devout, strict
