More to come

Despite my silence of the last few days and despite GC concluding, I have a few more observations to send your way.

I'll keep this one very short.

Scrutiny of articles in the media, both church and secular, show how widely we cast our prophetic net over the evils of our society, asking our churches to face them and do something about them, such as torture, trafficking in slavery, poverty, pre-emptive war, etc.

But the GC was unwilling to deal publicly with the misbehavior of two very public figures who call themselves United Methodists and failed to look seriously at many petitions intended to improve our unjust personnel practices.

I guess it is okay to hang out other people's dirty laundry and hide our own . . . .
