We are especially excited for this week’s episode as we welcome John Hill to the program. John is days away from completing his service as the Interim General Secretary of the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society, an agency charged with leading the denomination’s social witness around the world.
It is a perfect time for this conversation as we move into a critical election season where the social witness of the church will be of the utmost importance–and faith leaders will be called to lead. But, also, because the United Methodist Church recently concluded an historic General Conference where they approved a complete revision of their Social Principles–their positions on community and policy issues and, after decades of strife, took historic votes to remove harmful LGBT policies from their Book of Discipline.
