Important Message for Those Who Have Signed The Open Letter to General Conference

Thank you for taking time to express your support of the Open Letter to the Delegates to the 2012 General Conference. As of last night 1,735 people had signed - clergy and lay from small, medium and large churches.  Signers came from every jurisdiction and from across the theological spectrum.  We would like to encourage you in two ways:
  1. First, commit to daily prayer for the upcoming General Conference, that God might guide our church. You can access the General Conference prayer guide or simply pray your own prayer asking that God’s vision for the United Methodist Church will be discerned by the delegates.  If these proposals are of God, we pray that the delegates will see this and that they will have the courage and boldness to pursue this vision.  If they are not God's will we pray God will reveal the path we are meant to take.
  2. Secondly, take a moment to copy and paste the link to the Open Letter so it can be shared thru your social media (Email, Facebook, Twitter)to other United Methodist clergy and laity encouraging them to consider expressing their support in this effort. The expression of this support is extremely important.
We believe the United Methodist Church has a future with hope. Thank you for your commitment, and passion for seeing a new church, one that is vital in making disciples for Christ in all the world.

Blessings,
Adam Hamilton
