OK who is 'big' in the Methodist church in England - need to write to them so that I can expose the unchristian behaviour of our local methodist church?

[handlemecarefully]

Is there a head of the Methodist church in England and does he or she have an address that I can write to?

what have those methodists done to upset you??

have you tried approaching your minister first?

there is an address but there are proper avenues your suposed to go thru

You need the president of conference.

What's the problem?

God?

Thanks all - what have they done to upset me? Trust me it is a very long and rather dull story (except to those intimately involved / affected). We occupy the an ante room of the local Methodist church as the school room for our Pre-School and have done so for the past 15 years. We are pretty darn good tenants but they are treating us abysmally atm for reasons beyond our comprehension.

I want them to feel some 'heat'

Our local Methodist church is trying to persuade elderly parishioners to get into those dodgy equity release schemes in order to fund a building programme. Very odd. Always thought of Methodists as upright and honourable!

Well, they're tee-total and they get quite cross if you mess around with the hymnbook...

How are they treating you abysmaly? Your title says they are being unchristian and I wondered (cos I'm nosey) what that meant!

so is it this fella?

He is the current president, new one taking over in July. Writing to him would be the equivalent of the Archbishop of Canterbury in the anglican church.

No, I think you mean him

Honestly harrisey - I'd like to share but it would take too long to give you every nuance and subtley of unpleasantness.

Their latest thing is that they would like us to clear the school room of each and every one of our belongings at the end of each term for the holiday period, and even for half term weeks - despite there being no onsite storage offered. (they particularly want us to clear the children's art work from the walls - gravely offensive presumably)

So we are expected to take our stuff off site and store in parents garages etc. Wtf?

Rhubarb you are incorrigible. This is a serious matter - tsk!

Cor Tortoiseshell - that will do me then. Thanks

You mean he's not the main man in the Methodist Church?

I think if I were you I would go for the president designate - I'm guessing they'll be handing over , so you might have more luck.

Thanks tortoise

(silly rhubarb! )

God -bet you're sooo glad you took on the crappy chairperson job now!

sorry you have my sincere sympathy

I'm thrilled ggirl, truly thrilled! [wry smile] - thanks for the sympathy. Much appreciated.

I have found my replacement for the new term ..woo hoo!!

Your lucky lucky extraordinarily fortunate person you!

well it took an inordinate amount of grooming and arse licking

I'm up for some arse licking if that's what it takes..
