The Spirit of God Keeps Moving

Wednesday, 02 May 2012 14:41 Affirmation

By Tim Tennant-Jayne, Affirmation Co-spokesperson

On Monday the 30th, the wind was really blowing here in Tampa, FL. First the wind would blow the tent walls of our Love Your Neighbor Tabernacle out by several feet. Then the traditional form of the tent would re-assert itself and the walls would snap back into their “proper place.” As we crossed the street for a Die-In style protest, another burst of wind led one coalition individual to cry out “Auntie Em! Auntie Em!” Even in the midst of death we still have life.

Hospitality Abounds

General Conference 2012 has officially begun. It has been everything you could imagine. Amazing, spiritual, exciting, boring, exclusionary, and fascinating. I'm here helping to represent Affirmation's members and our concerns. And while I was in Fort Worth in 2008 for a few days, this really is my first full General Conference.

Affirmation: United Methodists for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Concerns is working with the Black Methodists for Church Renewal, the Methodist Federation for Social Action, the National Federation of Asian American United Methodists, the Native American Caucus, and the Reconciling Ministries Network. Together, we are the Love Your Neighbor (LYN) Coalition.

Love Your Neighbor Campaign Urges United Methodist Church to “Stand With Mark”

Advocates for full inclusion in the United Methodist Church lovingly confronted the dismissive and hurtful words, actions, and attitudes of delegates of the General Conference. The General Conference is meeting in Tampa, Florida until May 4 and will consider nearly 100 resolutions concerning the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the life of the United Methodist Church.
