So instead of education & kindness the Church of Uganda preaches religious conversion practices:

'I call on our churches to develop pastoral healing ministries & recovery centres so the church will be a safe place to find healing, forgiveness, freedom..'

Episcopal Church in US was suspended from the Anglican Communion for supporting equal marriage.

The Church of Uganda supports the killing of gay people and…nothing? Seriously, @JustinWelby?

Hi folks, @KimahliPowell here, CEO at Rainbow Railroad. I’m taking over our account to update on the escalating situation in Uganda. Today, Ugandan Parliament passed, for the second time, one of the most homophobic pieces of legislation in the world. Here’s what you need to know:

@Sorey_Not_Sorry Hugs Katie - not a good day in FL - devastating.

@umcdancemaster This is hopeful - praying 🙏🏻

I have no words. 20 years of being out and proud. Please don’t tell a queer person “just wait till next year”. Not today. Maybe next month but not today. Friendly advice from a queer UM. #FLUMC22

Thanks Ben - it was wonderful to be with everyone!

Conference isn’t conference for me if I don’t get to gather with fellow inclusive Methodists. Grateful for @helenryde and @rmnetwork and the work for inclusion we share in at #sgaumc

Here's another Lent:Reimagined reflection - How do we accept the freedom and power God gives us to resist evil, injustice and oppression? #umc #BeUMC #Lent

[US.UMC: Reimagined @USUMCReimagined]

Today's Lent:Reimagined Question - What are ways we can reject evil as individuals, as a community, in public and through the Church? #umc #BeUMC #Lent

Today's Lent: Reimagined Question - What is at risk if we don’t renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness? What is at risk if we do? #umc #BeUMC #Lent #BaptismalCovenant

[Matt Dailey! @TheMattDailey]

How does one justify the use of police power on church property *against the District Superintendent?*

The separatists are dead set on burning down the denomination on the way out the door, because we as queer folks want to participate in the full life of the #UMC. Shameful.

[US.UMC: Reimagined @USUMCReimagined]

Lent:Reimagined. Renouce. Are there forces of wickedness that aren't "spiritual" forces? #umc #BeUMC #Lent #baptismalcovenant

[Resist Harm @ResistHarm]

Together let us persist in offering Christ-like mercy and working for justice; deepening lives of devotion and drawing communities together in worship.
