Preparing For The GMC General Conference (Part 2)
from PlainSpoken Hosted by Jeffrey Rickman
In this segment, TJ and I report on the petitions we filed and some of the feedback we got. We also get some more details about how the legislative committees are going to work in the months leading up to General Conference. We finally read a good deal of that guiding document for the Convening Conference session, which gives a lot more information about the nuts and bolts of how things will work before and during (and after) the conference session. We were surprised at how transparent and responsive everything is designed to be. This is going to be a large culture shift from the UMC. We are pleased and excited. We hope everyone else will be, too!

And with this plainspoken courage laying bare intimate portraits of marginalized rural and military families resiliently bonding against economic uncertainty, Bryan has attracted hyper-fervent fandom through sheer originality and dogged DIY work ethic alone.
