Reflecting on today’s historic General Conference vote, California-Nevada first elect lay delegate and Conference Lay Leader, Micheal Pope said, “The passing of the LGBTQIA legislation is a monumental moment in the history of the UMC! As the people called Methodist we are saying we believe that all of God's children are sacred in God's sight. We the people called Methodist chose love over fear and hate. Our LGBTQIA siblings have been welcomed and have been seen. The affirmative vote is our apology for the past. I look forward to going home and saying to all of my LGBTQIA siblings the Methodist church will do NoHarm!”
