Don’t know why I expected to not care so much about the business session at the Nazarene General Assembly.

As anyone else could have predicted, I do in fact care, and my resulting systolic blood pressure is higher than any of the current GS votes.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

I’m watching Fellowship for the first time since reading the book (which I finished today) and my favorite movie add-in so far has definitely been the Gandalf/Saruman wizard-offs

Also, if you’re interested in this topic, @rickpidcock kept all the receipts and went scorched earth tying IBLP ideas to current, influential church leaders: https://t.co/fPTx5dyKSn

@JoelTooley @MiddendorfJesse @Shawna_SG @ZaackHunt this is absolutely hilarious. Was this one of the guys spreading the email saying Dan Boone is the “most dangerous man in the church of the nazarene?” - because what a solid group to be lumped with

“I hope and pray that statements like the ones made on the floor of the Assembly do not chase away our wonderful theologians, professors, and teachers.

If it was not for my professors at TNU I would not be a Nazarene. I am forever indebted to your work. 1/2

I think the BGS should consider taking time during the district assemblies the year before General Assembly to present the Article of Faith resolutions and explain them. #NazGA2023

[Rev. Nodnarb @cansas]

I believe our big tent has two distinct spaces within it now. Wesleyan-Holiness and Reformed-Holiness. The latter is not the traditional expression of the COTN even though it thinks it is. I pray we find peace in this diversity. #nazga2023

[Allie Tooley @allie2ley]

I keep wondering if we practiced this kind of business at district assembly, when the church is in its own context and language - how much fuller would our polity be both locally and globally?

[Teanna Sunberg @TSunberg]

Has #NazGA2023 taught us that we need to think through translation strategy & prep for parliamentary procedure? I have missed hearing the voices of India, S Asia, and much of the African continent this time around.

@clarksided The church that raised you needs you so desperately. It seems to me like the people the church needs most are the ones they keep away in fear.

DS Albert Hung is very cool.

[Kayla Smith @kaylamcsmith]

Speaking to anxiety about rewording of articles - @Shawna_SG “If we were to accept these changes…the last word on all of our articles of faith instead of being HELL would be MISSION.” 👏🏼 #NazGA2023

[Allie Tooley @allie2ley]

Albert Hung urging the clarification around defining hell as “separation from God” rather than physical suffering #nazga2023

[Allie Tooley @allie2ley]

Biggest eye rolls back here in the gallery over the people getting up to say “stop making our eschatology pleasant.”

Surely we can all remember how much Jesus talked about the resurrection. I however, must have missed all his sermons on burning in hell.

The grace and humility of Danny Gomis and Deirdre Brower Latz show exactly the kind of leadership we have to look forward to in the coming years.

@CrossingCruz It was approved. (LA-412)

Unbelievable, especially after the humble testimony from our sister pastoring in Papau New Guinea who urged the floor to consider those in perpetual threat of natural disasters.

[Allie Tooley @allie2ley]

The arguments for legalism around the appointing of pastors in local churches who haven’t paid their apportionments in full? Baffling coming from a tradition born out of solidarity with the poor and marginalized.

@keegzzz it’s giving “hear ye, hear ye, all ye cowboys”
