Thank God for the Wesleyan Covenant Association. Our North GA Rep has been a lifeline for my small church and hundreds of others. Thank you Rev. Caulfield for all you've done. Thank you Jeffrey for your fearless voice.
Separating the episcopy from the business of the church is a good idea. Also, the fact that the Bishop in the UMC has so much power to mistreat or abuse clergy where clergy can either leave or remain in a hostile environment is not only unjust but may explain why many conservative clergy have left.
I think our Bishop in Holston conference is pretty conservative..Debra Wallace-Padgett. She has been very gracious. I thought she was going to schedule another special conference, but I think there is a 90-day discernment period. For the April special session, I believe all paperwork had to be in about 6 weeks before the conference. If another special conference does get scheduled, if churches haven’t started discernment, etc., I am not sure they could get it done in time.

Praise God for providing servant leaders with vision, courage, and moral clarity. I love our church future!

Name of movie ?

Awesome interview! I would love to read her book. Thank you.
Just out of curiosity. Are there any avowed, conservative, bishops in the UMC?
I left out conservative "female" bishops in the UMC.
Sharma Lewis is about the only conservative bishop left, and she’s the only one willing to prosecute covenant breakers.
Thanks
