  8. We are communicators of the Gospel. We must strive to communicate in all languages (when needed - thank you German delegate). #GC2012
  9. @ttennheat I believe that's right. I missed how the final motion read as amended.
  10. @ttennheat Might... The rationale was by reducing the # of members, they could afford more central conf representation.

  12. Term limits for bishops does not pass.
  13. Term limits for Bishops? Freedom for a prophetic voice is definitely a concern. - #gc2012 live on gc2012.umc.org
  14. YES! someone wants the body to make a decision rather than defer. - #gc2012 live on gc2012.umc.org
  15. @Dhoppenjan Twitter really does need a 'like' button.
  16. @OliviaAU votes you may find interesting: Susan Henry-Crowe was not elected to judicial council. Jan Love was elected to University Senate.
  17. @OliviaAU Here's the link to the schedule: umc.org/site/c.lwL4KnN… I knew all that, though, because I have been obsessively watching it online
  18. @OliviaAU Set aside bishop did not pass. Term limits was being called to question and will be voted on after lunch (1:30 central)
  19. What do you do when everyone gets a majority vote? I thought I had seen it all! - #gc2012 live on gc2012.umc.org
