Legislative Work

Wendy Moffatt and I have been observing Social Concerns 2 sub committee on Human Sexuality most of the day and now into the evening. Some very positive action has been taken related to removing restrictive language that excludes many of our brothers and sisters. At the same time, language is being crafted to say we have dissagrement around the issue of homosexuality and will continue to dialogue and listen as the Holy Spirit works with us. This is some of the most promising conversation we have ever heard related to this struggle. But we are also sensitive that while there are some of us that feel encouraged by this, others feel defeated. So we have much work to do before we truly embrace one another in the spirit of love in Christ. Know also, that at this point this is only legislative action. This action has to be taken to the full body of the General Conference. That comes next week. Again, keep us in your thoughts and prayers. May All Be Well. Carolyn Waters
