The world now knows the word #koinonia from the most unlikely of places: the #SpellingBee. They should know it from the #Church as a fellowship that welcomes all people. But too often we draw dividing lines and cast people out. Little wonder they didn’t know the word til now.

Saw this license plate today on a fancy chromed-out Ford F-350. Ezekiel 1:18: “Their rims were tall and awesome, for the rims of all four were full of eyes all around.” Well done, truck with chrome rims, well done indeed. @HeyMPT @UnvirtuousAbbey @rachelheldevans #Christian

Hey @drunkhistory, I'd love you forever if y'all would do an episode on @GhostJohnWesley. There's so many great stories about him. #UMC – at Chicago, IL

Q6: How do we remove the stigma of discussing sex in our churches? #DreamUMC

Q5: How do our policies and the BoD uphold/undermine our values around sexuality as Christians? #DreamUMC
Q4: How do we celebrate sex while still encouraging healthy boundaries as faith leaders? #DreamUMC
Since everyone else is focusing on a potential WWIII, I’ll join the trend and just drop the rest of the questions. See y’all soon. #DreamUMC
Q3: Where is God when our bodies don’t work the way we want them to i.e. barrenness, chronic pain, etc.? #DreamUMC

Q2: How can the church teach youth about sex in healthy shame-free ways? What does the church offer that health class does not? #DreamUMC
Okay…we’ll see if Q2 has any better luck. #DreamUMC
Q1: How does your faith community discuss sexuality & gender identity with children/youth and at what age does it start to? #DreamUMC
Hopefully more of y’all will “come out” as the conversation progresses. (Can I make that joke before the Commission is done?) #DreamUMC #UMC

Let’s start with intros? Who are you? What do you do? Who is your favorite fictional book character? #DreamUMC
