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.

Sex Happens. Even Among Christians.

It’s hard to figure out how to write a blog post on sexuality, when you work for the church. Here goes. Most humans are sexual beings. And in my experience, the church is mostly terrible at being honest about sex and sexuality. I did an informal social media poll of Christians, asking what messages they received from church growing up. Here are a few examples: “Nothing” “<crickets chirping>” “I was going to hell” (from a gay man) “Not to do it until you’re married” “That it was shameful… all of it” “Sex is bad – save it for the one you love”   “If I had relied on church teachings, instead of the streets/cars/books, I still wouldn’t understand where my children came from” “DIRTY BAD!” “Nothing, except sex waited until marriage!” “Evangelical youth group: No sex, no Disco (b/c it’s all about sex), sex is the DARK side, and: don’t talk abt it” Here’s a great characterization of this stream of responses. Plenty of respondents had other expe...

Words of Advice for Those Packing to Attend Church Assemblies/Conferences

You would probably be fine without these words, but I'm going to post them anyway. Sadly, I did not post this before the United Methodist Church General Conference. Sorry, Methodists. To Pack A water bottle and travel mug You will want to have a way to hydrate. Hydration is important for your stamina! I imagine that certain areas of the country frown more on bottled water purchases than others, so I find the best way to avoid any sticky ethical issues around plastic waste is to bring my own water bottle. The same goes for a travel mug. If you bring your own, you won't contribute to landfill waste the five times a day you get coffee or tea! Win-win! (Update: commissioners and advisory delegates to the PC(USA) GA will be gifted a water bottle, but the rest of us have to fend for ourselves.) Lotion/moisturizer You hydrate with water, but your skin wants hydration, too. Trust me. This is a gender-inclusive recommendation. Layers (like a shawl or scarf or sweater for...
