Day 3: WCC GA - the photos

Good morning!

Several head honchos came to greet us, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, the chair of the Pentecostal World Fellowship, and a leader from Rissho Kosei-Kai.

The Asia plenary was both devastating and wonderful: almost half the world's population lives in Asia, which continues to be colonized by neoliberal capitalism and outside powers. In this plenary, I also learned that $7 billion/year, which is what the U.S. spends on ice cream or on dog food, would vaccinate every child globally.

The salty snack Sara Lisherness (another delegate) brought me during plenary. Judge away, friends. It was worth it.

What consensus looks like from my seat.

During the conversation on Ecumenical Theological Education. To the right is my former professor and former boss, David Esterline.

A demonstration outside of the Madang. It is so important to continue the WCC's witness against caste-based discrimination.

Hello Presbyterians... at the Reformed family confessional gathering. Yes, that's Gradye Parsons to the right. And I'm so happy I'm now friends with Toddie Peters!

Dinner, with Chip Hardwick and Jack Haberer.

A Sermon on the Occasion of the Ordination of the Rev. Sarah Perkins

I had the honor of preaching at the ordination of my friend and colleague Sarah today. We were an all-women ordination commission. And it was lovely. Below is the sermon. (Note that since Sarah's mother is a New Testament professor, I opted not to preach on a NT passage - I couldn't bear to mess that one up. LOL.) Isaiah43:16-21 There is a trap waiting out there for ministers in the United States. Do you not perceive it? The trap that ministers fall into is confusing the Good News with Nice News. Sarah and I were at a conference a few years ago where the Rev. Jose Morales preached on this distinction, and it has stayed with me. I’m not all that opposed to nice. When I think of nice, I think of a vacation place I once stayed at with a garden wall covered with tiny pots of succulents and a small bamboo garden.

And in my experience, the church is mostly terrible at being honest about sex and sexuality.

Plenty of respondents had other expe...

Yes, I'm a minister. No, I don't have a church.
