Y'all, this hits close to home.
I used to live about 10 mi from this church. We spent a lot of time in Olney.
Oakdale Church in Olney, MD wants to leave the UMC Baltimore-Washington Conference, and over and above the standard fee has had the UMC demand payment based on the cost of the church - which the church congregation paid for - within two months - $4M or the UMC will keep the sanctuary.
