This moment from @EvergreenStCol's 2018 graduation (from the speech by the baccalaureate speaker) perfectly encapsulates the inclusion-by-division mentality imprinted on students: pic.twitter.com/sl5KJbKOQV

LGBTQ Methodists: You are God's beloved children, and no vote could ever change that. My heart breaks that your spiritual family is hurting you like this, but remember that God and the church are not the same thing—and God's love for you is unconditional. #GC2019

Grieving the loss of a church, or your place in it, can be as painful as grieving the loss of a loved one. Sending love and prayers to all who are grieving that loss today. I'm so sorry. #GC2019

Grieving with my LGBTQ friends in the @UMChurch. The days ahead will be hard and sad, but God will be with you on the other side of the boundaries your denomination has drawn. God will continue to draw near to people through your queer bodies. #GC2019

To our LGBTQ+ siblings in the @UMChurch: we see you, we hear you, we grieve with you, and no denomination or #GC2019 vote can diminish God’s love for you or negate God’s call on your life.

There is God. And then there is the church. The less we conflate the two, the better. The church may reject God’s children, but God never does. To my queer siblings, I’m so sorry. You are glorious. #GC2019

An interesting take from a minister on my talk last night in Sydney on why I don't like the question "Do you believe in God?" https://t.co/vgHHxhFkqN pic.twitter.com/4B6AN2HzsV

I recently left the #UMC for a progressive Baptist church. Decades after being forced out of SBC during their fundamentalist takeover, members are still grappling w/ emotional trauma.

I’m praying for the LGBTQ Methodists & allies who are feeling lost in their own homes. #GC2019 pic.twitter.com/tpRThWA9f2
