General Synod, 2017: Saturday, July 1 Blog Posts

Read an article summarizing Day 2 of General Synod, written by Eric Anderson (Pastor of Church of the Holy Cross in Hilo), as well as a report on being a Member in Discernment at Synod, written by Naleen Andrade of Kahikolu Congregational Church. 

What a magnificent morning of inspiring speeches and talks by Traci Blackmon (Acting Executive Minister of Justice and Witness Ministries ), Glennon Doyle (#1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior) and John Dorhauer (UCC General Minister and President). I am reenergized and recommitted.
