Collinsville Votes Wet
http://tinyurl.com/29grdvx
136 people signed a petition that got it on the ballot, a lot of them Methodists I imagine.
The petition should be a matter of public record in case Bishop Willimon wants somebody from Duke to come in after the fact and do a case study on Religion in Public Life in NE Alabama.
Two documentaries on Collinsville have been shown on statewide Public Television and this vote may call for a Third.
I'm not trying to start anymore imbroglios here, as I have friends who voted on both sides of the roughly 70/30 split.
The pastor of the Collinsville Baptist church stated his opinions in the Negative in the July issue of the church newsletter at www.collinsvillebaptist.com
I think he was fairly articulate on the matter.
I wish he could find it within himself to be as explicit on the matter of Immigration Reform; and ask himself what would Bonhoeffer Do; then again I don't envy the kickback he is certain to get were he to go DB on Immigration Reform; or for that matter preach on the first chapter of David Remnick's The Bridge.
My Dad preached some sermons in that fashion in Gaffney in the mid 70's. He lasted about three more years.

In some ways the most recent entry on Willimon's Peculiar Prophet blog goes against the grain of the discussion here, but Willimon is aware of the WetDry vote I think it safe to say; and the evolution and implementation of this action will be the subject of Conference wide concern and Prayer.
