You’re welcome England. I’ll go to the loo again in a few minutes if we’re needing a winner #ItsComingHome #ENGSPN

The adjournment resolution passed by a standing vote #MethodistConf (That means we’re done for the next year - so if you’ve been wondering what I’ve been (t)wittering on about for the last week, don’t worry, I’m done now!

Time to check that everybody is where they are supposed to be. Yes’s all around! #connexionalism #methodistconf

I was a junior steward and for many years dragged my sometimes reluctant mother to church because I had to be there. Now when I’m on vestry duty I rope in the youngsters who really love to help #methodistconf

I’m getting older but the ways I engaged as a young person made me the person I am today. I will forever be grateful to the Church and to those individuals who invested in me. So hearing how that is continuing today is wonderful #methodistconf

The young adults at conference are running frantically around! #methodistconf

The early middle aged (those no longer young adults!) often have strong opinions on the work with children and young people, it is interesting to hear a response from the youth president to that #methodistconf

If it’s not written down it didn’t happen - but also, if it is written down, it did. Remember in any notes you make, the people involved have a right to see it, so if you wouldn’t want them to, don’t write it #methodistconf

Speaker urges us to remember that in truth and reconciliation, truth comes first. #methodistconf

Prayers from the Northumbria Community reminding me of my pilgrimage to Lindisfarne with @MethodistWomen and my dear friend @Rachic11 who was ordained yesterday at #methodistconf
