HUMP EP 034: Rev. Dan Gangler - “Reconciling Ministries Network” In Episode 34 of the Hoosier United Methodist Podcast Rev. Brad Miller speaks with Rev. Dan Gangler the Corresponding Secretary of the Reconciling Ministries Network. Dan is the former Director of Communications for the Indiana Conference who now is a spokesperson for the primary group in the United Methodist Church which advocates inclusive language in the Book of Discipline regarding ordination of homosexual people and the allowance of UM clergy to marry same sex couples. Brad and Dan have an in depth discussion of theological and biblical arguments surrounding the issues, the possibility of a schism in the church the implications for local churches and clergy as well as the efforts to find a “way forward” to for our church. This the most important issue facing the church and our future as a United Methodist Church as it is presently constituted. Undoubtably the voices of advocacy groups such as The Reconciling Ministries Network will be active in advance of a called General Church Conference in 2019 to address these matters. The Hoosier United Methodist Podcast will hear from all sides of this issue and be a sounding board for all to be heard in an effort to find common ground.
