It wasn't that many years ago I heard a Methodist refer to Methodism as The One True Faith. I'd never heard the expression before, (use it all the time now, if you haven't noticed) and immediately realized just how fucking ludicrous it was in regards to Methodism.

I was the right age to get in on their ecumenical bent in the late 60s and absorbed a tolerance for other religions sharing some truths with Methodism, apparently. I realize now that was Erroneous. God is NOT an Ecumenist.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
