April 30 - General Conference

Today we worked on some legislation. Actually completed a number of petitions. Two significant items pertain to electing a bishop to give full leadership to the council of bishops rather than serve an area and term limits for bishops. The first proposal was defeated in a close vote. The other item relating to term limits was also defeated. We had a presentation from Higher Education that highlights our vast education ministry in the United Methodist Church. We came back from dinner and spent time in conversation with other members at our table. The evening concluded with worship. Tomorrow we continue our legislative work. Continue to pray that God move in our midst. steve
