The First United Methodist Church of Decatur had on their web page www.decaturmethodist.org a listing for the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) in their calendar. Sometime between the Jan. 7, 2014 Google Cache snap shot and today 3/1/2014 the SCV regular meeting disappeared from their schedule.
As of today 3/1/2014 the listing is still in the Google cache. It won't be there for long.

However, the calendar with the listing of the SCV is at www.archive.org.

You will have to wait a bit while it loads.
It seems that the First United Methodist Church of Decatur is covering up the fact that they let the SCV use the Wesley Center.
The First United Methodist Church of Decatur has been careless and hasn't entirely covered its tracks.

The SCV is still listing the First United Methodist Church of Decatur as a meeting place.

I had contacted the First United Methodist Church of Decatur and had blogged on the issue also.

Evidently the response was to hide the enabling of the SCV. It might be asked whether the church did stop hosting the SCV. If they did, I think they would tell me and the local SCV camp would be listing a new meeting place.
The documentation of the campaign to get churches to not enable neo-Confederate groups is online at www.templeofdemocracy.com/churchesoftheconfederacy.htm.
