A pastor type with a strong admiration for craft, a hope for community, and a desire for the nomadic life.

@N0ELTHOMPSON Noel, I really hope you’ll join me in volunteering on some synod committees this year so that we can do the work you’re seeing. Synod isn’t a thing that happens once a year just like church isn’t a thing that happens on Sundays.

[Sierra Pacific Synod @spselca]

Please join us in welcoming the new Bishop-Elect Rev. Dr. Megan Rohrer!

#sps21 We just elected the first trans bishop and I am so overjoyed that I cannot stop crying. Thank you Jesus!

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

#sps21 #spsassembly2021 we can still do a bold, brave thing y’all. Let that Holy Spirit flow through you and out into the world with this vote!

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

@jpserrano s’ok. tears of joy are welcome.

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

@spinnity I hear you about the typing thing. I’m struggling with timing too. But I just got elected to council and I will not forget Pr. Brown’s question. I promise.

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

Bishop: Where do you serve, sir? Pr. Brown: Under the clouds of heaven. AWESOME! #sps21 #spsassembly2021

Don’t worry #sp21 #spsassembly2021 @jpserrano and Kuehner are on the screen now. We’re all going to be alright!

@N0ELTHOMPSON Yes! Everyone take note for your next conference meeting in the fall - show up and nominate youth and BIPOC people for all the roles!

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

@N0ELTHOMPSON Why would you hear about my church choir? We all got lots going on. But assembly - being a synod - this is EXACTLY how this shizz happens. And why it’s so beautiful to do.

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

@spinnity I 100% agree. I just want the candidate’s responses to the climate crisis and racism to each have their own time. I think that trying to smash them together sets us up for something less than clarity and quality in this Q&A.

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

#sps21 I kind of hate this question for asking the candidates to talk about climate change. #spsassembly2021

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

I think that each candidate gave an authentic answer to our last question. Their answers are good representations of who they are and who they are called to be. I’m grateful for this being brought out. Tough vote. #sps21 #spsassembly2021

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

@jpserrano Amen! This was a perfect surprise 5th question.

[Manda Truchinski @MandaTruchinski]

@casey_sunshine they all shared vision AND concrete ideas. So great!
