#Thread for reflections, commentary, and snark on the Pre-General Conference briefing in Nashville. This is billed as more “informational” than “conversational” event—so those aspects will be here!

First hearing from the Indy Plan promoters.
So we get 20 minutes on this Plan...but now they are saying that all the Indy Plan supporters are now supporting the Protocol.

The Indy Plan supporters suggest NOT electing new bishops in 2020 because of the upheaval/transitions.
Surely it has NOTHING to do with the wave of progressive/centrist delegates who will shut out any traditionalist bishops in 2020 in every jurisdiction.

THREAD: Watching the 2019 UMC Special Session of General Conference has been absolutely heart-wrenching.

Baptized into the church by water and spirit as a baby, the UMC promised to, "...surround me with a community of love and forgiveness, that I might grow in my service to others; to pray for me, that I might be a true disciple who walks in the way that leads to life." #GC2019
Years later, confirmed in the Methodist church, I promised to faithfully participate in its ministries by my prayers, my presence, my gifts, my service, and my witness – and I have. #GC2019
Beginning of multi-day thread: coverage of General Conference 2019 in St. Louis.
Qualifications: I’m a reserve delegate from the greater Northwest, and a press-credentialed blogger at HackingChristianity.net.

My heart and hope are with @revjelowe and Pastor Susan Patterson-Sumwalt as they join the thousands converging on St. Louis Missouri this weekend for a Special Session of @UMChurch's General Conference.
The Church will decide the fate of #LGBTQ participants in the church.

The question before the delegates this weekend is not nearly as complicated as some pretend. In fact, it is quite simple. At its heart, really, the question is simply this: What kind of church does @UMChurch want to be?

One that errs on the side of inclusion? Or one that, instead, embraces exclusion?
How the delegates answer that question this weekend will reverberate far beyond the Church.
In these chaotic political times the @UMChurch will decide what side they will take moving forward.
