You may be interested to know that my family is Methodist as well. It
has its trappings and artifice too, but it's far less ostentatious and
imposing than Catholic tradition, and at each sermon, the overwhelming
message is that God loves all, and that each of us should accept Jesus
as our savior, recognize the goodness of God, and help spread the good
Word. One needn't go to confessional to confess or seek Jesus through
the clerics - each of us can have a personal, direct relationship with
the Almighty.

Intolerance is not part of Methodism, as far as I can tell.
