Whatever we encounter, whomever we meet, may Grace be our guide.
May we find the courage to make our lives and our loves a blessing. May we rest in God’s peace this night. #SlateSpeak
When #SlateSpeak started, no one thought you could build community on Tw. And if you did, it would be short-lived, no more than year. And yet, where the Divine is, & willing hearts... miracles. Thanks for believing in the dream, @crazypastor .
I'm thinking of Acts. In the beginning they were such a hot mess, trying to find their way, but they did it together. We at #SlateSpeak really found our way from an actual blank slate, creating community.
Also, confidence in my call. Being a #SlateSpeak mod was a consistent reminder to me of my call to hear people's stories of how they encountered the Divine.
I have appreciated how flexible & adaptive #SlateSpeak has been in participation & in leadership. A model for how we might do community on the interwebs and in the flesh.

I have served with remarkable, amazing Deaconesses!
Deaconesses have been around in the Methodist church for 135 years of service and justice work. Here is a bit more about the history. #umcgc
