Ole-Einar Anderson from Norway will Resist Harm

Ole-Einar Anderson from Norway will Resist Harm

I’m Ole-Einar Andersen (he, him, his). As a lifelong (70 years) Methodist in Trondheim, Norway, I strongly support #ResistHarm and all efforts towards a fully LGBTQ+ including and affirming (United) Methodist church. All Methodists of good will must fight and defeat the brutal and merciless “theology” represented by Traditional Plan.

Norwegian law accepts, respects and protects LGBTQ+ rights, like most western European countries. So does, in general, the western European social society, too. The current UMC stand on this issue makes our church increasingly irrelevant and out of touch with people, and it represents a not sustainable theology.
