Trying to answer questions about what we are debating about in regards to GCFA Report no. 8 at GC has never made me feel more stupid in my life 😂

Calendar Item #423, which was included on Consent Calendar B04, recognizes a significant moment. We just approved Full Communion with The Episcopal Church / @iamepiscopalian! #UMCGC

“I don’t think we have volume…” If only there was a way to still transmit the message to those who can’t hear a video… something like CAPTIONS. #UMCGC

The Consent Calendars for today that was just passed included FOUR of the EIGHT petitions for Worldwide Regionalization by >86%. It also passed regionalizing the definition of marriage and removing Traditional Plan language. Halfway there, #UMC! #UMCGC

Something we should be monitoring too!

Wondering if @umcjustice is monitoring the ratio of videos WITH versus without closed captioning...?#UMCGC

"God is generous with grace...In a world full of competing interest, it is easy to forget to acknowledge God." - Senesie TA Rogers, Young Adult from Sierra Leone #UMCGC #YoungPeoplesAddress

“The magic of the Spirit isn’t in the stack of books in front of you…it’s out THERE.” @AleSalemi15 for the Young People’s Address at #UMCGC

“Shut up! and know that I am God….Doesn’t that hit a little different?” #UMCGC #YoungPersonsAddress

"Despite our infighting over the last couple of years, to place blame, to force a fight, I know that this is not the true purpose of our humanity." - Alejandra Salemi, Young Peoples' Address #UMCGC

As one in the section who clapped, yes. We are waiting to be more diverse and to be considered and welcomed as someone who can be on delegate side of the room in all conferences and all parts of our church. And we are tired of waiting to be seen

Lots of applause from the observers room for the line about making the body more diverse in age #UMCGC

"As we gather at this General Conflict. Oops. Freudian slip" #UMCGC

During the Young People’s address the best question was asked: “As you took a wrecking ball to the church did you forget the children were inside and watching you… after it all the money and hurt..was it worth it!” #UMCGC

Alejandra most definitely has a point.......

Capturing the Wesleyan spirit of social holiness, over 4,000 United Methodists from around the world participated in an eight-year process to review and update the United Methodist Social Principles - find the draft that is pending adoption here: umcjustice.org/documents/124 #UMCGC

"We understand that all of us may not agree on every statement, but our goal was to find language to reach across diverse contexts to encourage conversation and put our faith into action." - Rev. Ande Ikimun Emmanuel #UMCGC

Ready for this report on the Revised Social Principles! Let God's will be done for us to have a better social witness to guide our ability to live out the gospel #UMCGC

"You cannot step into the same river twice." - Heraclitus
