Bishop Minerva Carcaño speaks at the #BWCUMC19 Moral Courage Luncheon. Thank you @bishopminerva for lifting up our call to follow Jesus in ministries of justice.
There’s a youth-led revival breaking out in the Grand Ballroom right now. The bishop danced. Holy hands raised high. Shouts of hallelujah. #bwcumc19#umc@bwcumc
