Oh, and maybe getting a chance to visit Disneyland with my boys at some point . . .

World Mission and B033
I'm getting excited about General Convention as I make the final preparations for the trip. We will be driving South on Monday, two adults and two children. I am looking forward to sitting in on the World Mission Committee, which will be dealing with some of the "juicy resolutions" at this Convention. Specifically, I'll be following the resolutions connected to GC06 B033, which was the resolution asking Bishops and Standing Committees to "exercise restraint" in approving the election of bishops whose "manner of life" presents a challenge to the wider church. Needless to say, there are many opinions about this, and many potential responses. I look forward to exploring those in the days to come!

It is hard to believe it is time to leave for Anaheim! My subcommittee on the National and International Concerns is Environmental Issues and includes C-005 on the Clergy Letter Project; C-011 Governmental Policies for Environmental Stewardship; C-044 on the Earth Charter as well as A-045 which hopes to restrict the use of bottled water at Convention. Per usual I am taking my personal water bottle to refill (and hopefully not lose!).
ReplyDeleteThe other subcommittees are International Political Issues, Human Rights-Domestic and Human Rights-International. All are interesting.
I am looking forward to sharing my experience with any congregation that will invite me!
