What to write, dear friends! The General Conference is slowly getting to the legislation which is most controversial. That is of course the legislation which has the greatest impact on the denomination, conferences, and local churches. In a group this large, it is a challenge to carry on meaningful conversations which foster relationships of understanding our common bond in Christ. Now is when I realize the tremendous benefit of the subcommittees which met together last week! There, conversations were geared toward understanding and learning how very different people can walk side-by-side as members of the body of Christ which we call the United Methodist Church.
I pray that we would have that same spirit today as we, in this enormous body, endeavor to worship and do God's work, the business of the General Conference.
