I acknowledge that for a lot of Christians this issue is the ultimate conundrum.

That's interesting. The third world membership ranks in the Methodists sounds a lot like the situation with the Roman Catholics. US and European members are more liberal, Africans generally much more conservative. "Boosting the theologically conservative numbers are the burgeoning Methodist churches overseas, where the predominant views are traditional. At the next General Conference in 2016, the share of delegates from U.S. will drop to about 58 percent, while the contingent from Africa will rise to 30 percent, according to United Methodist News Service."
