“On this election eve, I’ve got a lot on my heart,” the Rev. Cameron Partridge said during the webinar. “I’m thinking about the use of trans people for legislative and political gain-the distorting, hateful use.”

“There are better ways to protect those with privilege than by putting those who are already vulnerable at higher risk.”

Iain was an excellent colleague. We surely missed him at the Consultation Commons booth at #gc81 - and mostly we miss his voice urging us to take courage. Grateful for this rich conversation recorded before he died. Rest in peace and God’s love, dear Iain.
Today marks one year since the death of our beloved member & friend, Iain Stanford. We have posted an interview—almost spiritual memoir—recorded by Cameron Partridge with Iain five days before he died. Love abides.

I disagree that A091 would have done that. As Chair of the Title IV committee, I think it was a hot mess that would have put clergy on both sides at risk of discipline. I was frustrated that it didn’t go thru my committee & that I couldn’t speak to it before debate was cut off.
In today's #gc81 ISSUES:
