Today we read our apology from the United Methodist General Conference to the Victims/Survivors of Sexual Misconduct in The United Methodist Church. #UMCGC

The three Rs of #umcgc

A revival of God's LOVE broke out at #UMCGC!

#UMCGC What 2/3 means for ratification of Regionalization ❌ Does not mean majority vote times 2/3 of annual conferences ❌ Does not mean every AC requires 2/3 ❌Does not mean 2/3 of ACs with a 2/3 vote ✅ 2/3 of AC delegates denominationwide in a pool of every annual conference

We who were nurtured in United Methodism’s theology of God’s generous grace can now bring our full selves as we respond to the Holy Spirit’s call into ordained ministry. May we be judged on the fruits of our ministry, not on our sexual orientation or gender identity. #UMCGC

It is odd to see monumental change via a routine vote on a consent agenda with 93% support, masking the work that thousands of faithful witnesses have been doing for decades to get to this point. Today doesn't erase past harm, but is a welcome promise of what is to come. #UMCGC

United Methodists nearly unanimously voted to strike down the ban on gay clergy this morning .#UMCGC.

304.3 is GONE 🌈🌈🌈 #UMCGC

This feels like that moment in the 7th inning when the crowd realizes a pitcher is working on a perfect game #UMCGC

As it stands, it's poised to pass with a huge margin. Stay tuned. I'm already getting choked up and weepy...🤞🏼😭 #UMCGC

Friends, today is apt to be an extremely historic day... We woke up to the news that critical legislation on queer ordination remains on the consent calendar today (protecting it from amendments and debate) #UMCGC

I am not an issue, I am a child of God. #umcgc #transpeoplearedivine

A celebration and news conference outside the convention center for the passage of the first petition seeking to remove anti-LGBTQ+ petitions. More details to come in our blog. #UMC #UMCGC

Wondering how this #UMCGC fits into the larger history of GCs and the LYNC work? Listen to this interview of the Rev. David Meredith by the Pastor Joelle Henneman. facebook.com/share/v/eGBSdU…

@transpreacher @UMCGC yes you are!

Looking marvelous @UMCGC #umcgc

@RevJDubya ahhh, gotcha. Misread the 'not' And I can definetly relate #MethoNerd ☺️

@RevJDubya heh, you have a bizarre way of seeking retreat 😁💕

Currently debating the addition of a new Central Conference in Africa, which would add two new episcopal. areas. It originally was five, but GMC-affiliated churches removed the financing capacity for those three other bishops. CCs should know who is really responsible. #UMCGC

As @uwomenfaith offers it's presentation, it's worth noting the report from @MainstreamUMC that petitions submitted by United Women in Faith pass at a 99% rate. That's some incredible influence and organizing! #UMCGC

The most boring but the most long term consequences for legal, educational, and conferencing decisions. So it sucks but we do need to be invested and educated. #umcgc
