Why revisit the road to General Conference 2019?
In 2019 I decided to slow down my drive to the special called General Conference and take a more prayerful, intentional approach. I needed to remind myself of why I do this work as an organizer for Reconciling Ministries Network.
It's 2024 now, five years later and I had found myself needing that reminder again.
About the road to General Conference 2019 revisited
It's been nearly two weeks since I returned from my journey home from St Louis, retracing the steps and churches I visited on my way to the special General Conference in 2019.
In 2019 I was literally driving to St Louis to go to the special called General Conference, from my home (at the time) in Weaverville, NC. I had opened Google maps, set the destination of St Louis and then told Google to avoid highways. A route was set for me (I love technology, and maps!)
I’ve had a website for a while now… I am notoriously bad at keeping it updated. My last post was in May 2018 🙄. I’m in the process of loading my old posts to the Archives page. As I take up this writing again, we are 35 days away from the start of General Conference. The topics may vary, but as a delegate to General Conference I am thinking mostly about that these days, and my hopes for what The UMC can still be. Much love to all, Helen. 🙏🏻 ❤️ 😊
