I haven’t heard anyone say we shouldn’t talk about the worst parts of our tradition and scripture, just that it shouldn’t be a surprise on a stressful exam. #PCUSA
Hey church leaders, I hope you’ll talk with your CPM about offering pastoral care to any candidates who just took that exam, more grace and flexibility at the presbytery level, and some bigger changes on high. #PCUSA
Goodness, it was enough to get me on Twitter between General Assemblies. #PCUSA
I’m all for training and examination of our clergy. I’m all for being prepared to face the hard things. But surprising people with a horrifying text for an already stressful exam? I don’t think that’s the best way. #PCUSA
Grateful to everyone who spoke in favor of doing more than this. #ga225

If the YAADs had a vote in plenary, we would have just divested from fossil fuels. Their votes would have made the difference. Think about that. #ga225

So, this is gonna sound cynical but...what seat at the table? We aren't that BIG for these companies to really listen to us if we're investing, so why not stop investing because it's the right thing to do? These "table seats" haven't done anything YET, so... #GA225
Yes, YAAD Molly! Four decades of saying we should act-- twice as long as she's been alive. Time to make substantial action. #ga225
You can respect the work of MRTI and still move for faster, bigger action-- they originally suggested passing their report with ENV-07, which called for categorical divestment. justiceunbound.org/author/ff… #ga225
"We are sacrificing future generations..." thank you, Geoff! We need to act quickly on fossil fuel divestment and creation justice. #ga225
I met Jed on a PHP trip to Peru in 2014. He took us to see the glaciers that supply Lima, a desert city of 8 mill, with freshwater. This is what was left of them then... this is why we're not moving fast enough. #ga225
Thank you, Ginna, for moving to add the Carbon Underground 200 list to ENV-09 in support of MRTI's good work, and sharing the effects of climate change in your corner of creation. #GA225
Five down, one hundred ninety-five to go. #ga225
MRTI suggested passing ENV-07 alongside their report, but since that didn't happen in committee, the next best thing we can do is amend ENV-09 to speed up our response to the climate crisis. Thanks for your hard work, #ga225!
ENV-07 was supported by 31 midcouncils, and is the descendent of the most-concurred-upon overture that we know of in our history. #ga225
Here's where the Environmental Justice committee came down on the last 5 overtures it was considering - including the ENV-07, calling for full #PCUSA divestment in all fossil fuel companies. pres-outlook.org/2022/06/env… #GA225
One more was on the list, but Monmouth Presbytery (where it originally originated!) is re-formed into a new presbytery since then! #ga225
Enjoying this very sweet start to ENV today-- everyone is thanking each other, and offering gratitude for the hard work and good conversation so far. Throwing in my appreciation, too! #ga225
This is an important read by Rev. Kerri Allen and rev. abby mohaupt. #ga225
