Ooh. Wow, do I feel vulnerable right now! I just started
sending out the invitations to participate in the project for my doctor of
ministry program. Well, it is a bit akin to saying
and intimating that I am going to
do something—maybe—someday; and then actually doing it in front of everyone.
For a person who is on the shy-side (that’s right, Melissa; you had my number),
this is the equivalent of turning a bright beacon spotlight on me. There is no
place to get out of the light.
So now, let me share that invitation with you as well.
Discernment
Process over Divisive Issues, e.g. Homosexuality in the UMC
What: a three-session discernment process on
homosexuality that seeks to strengthen participants' abilities to listen “in
love,” meaning, in an open way. Between sessions, there will be homework
assignments of reading and engagement with others. There is no agenda to change
anyone’s perspective.
When: Saturdays 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., April
11; May 9; and May 30.
Where: Christ Crossman UMC, 384 N Washington
St. Falls Church, VA
Who: UM Clergy and laity from a wide
variety of positions, who will commit to attending all three sessions.
