Well, our legislative committees have been hard at work today. Some have split up into sub-committees in order to care for the large volume of resolutions and petitions. Some committees have begun to take action on pieces of legislation already. Those should be recorded in tomorrow's Daily Christian Advocate. If you have a petition tracker, or log on to the gc2012.umc.org website, you may be able to see progress on petitions in which you are interested.
The global nature of the UMC is ever more evident, as we find nearly half of our committee members are from central conference, many of whom require translation. It is exciting to hear one's speeches being translated into French, Portugese, Swahili, German, and several more languages. So many beautiful people, all endeavoring to communicate as we join in this huge ministry of administration, enabling, blessing, and equipping.
It has been exciting to see so many young people in leadership positions on these committees. They are doing a fabulous job, and are giving a wonderful witness to the future of the UMC.
