These are the folks named to the Special Response Committee that will guide the process of special response to the Statement of Confession and Commitment and the Query on Same-Sex Covenental Relationships in our congregations and districts over the next few years: Karen L. Garrett, Jim Meyer, Marie Rhoades, John E. Wenger, Carol Wise.
Caucus is excited to see that the glbt community will be given voice by Carol Wise, director of BMC, and young people will be represented on the committee by Marie Rhoades. It is very exciting that these two historically-underrepresented (or flat-out ignored!) voices will be given seats at the table of power during this process. The position for a “young person” on the committee was a direct result of the presentation of the youth/young-adult Call to Confession, Commitment, and Action. Way to go young people!! Let us all pray that their voices will be heard!!! Now if only P&AC would approve a BOOTH for BMC!!!!
