Greetings, everyone.
I'm enjoying a few minutes in the Press Room as Olon Lindemood sits for me on the floor of the General Conference. Skip helped me with some legislative amendments for my afternoon session in the "Study of the Episcopacy". And I am able to keep on ear on the activity on the plenary floor through big screen monitors.
The mood in Fort Worth is wonderfully surprising! The Council of Bishops, the Connectional Table, the General Agencies, the Young People Address, and the Lay Address all were woven so beautifully to both "speak the truth in love" about the current reality of our denomination and to cast a rich vision of our hearts and God's call to faithfulness. We are, I pray, I pray, I pray, practicing a new holy conferencing. May it shape us in new ways.
I am so proud of the witness of the Rocky Mountain Conference. Again and again, our name appears on the huge screens as leaders in all arenas of our life together speak to transforming ministries over which they give leadership!!
Our people are pages and marshalls, witnesses to inclusive-ness, leaders in committees, and more!
Keep praying for us! After day three...we are running on about 9-12 hours of sleep, total, since last Tuesday.
Pray for stamina, patience, listening hearts, and bold voices.
Janet

I know many pastors, laity, leaders, and churches will be holding you in prayer tomorrow. I know we will be. May the Spirit uphold you in your sleeplessness and lead on toward hope! I'm counting on it.
