Delegate suggests white people did not congratulate themselves sufficiently for offering an overdue apology? Better song choice “Kyrie Eleison,” I think. #UCCSynod
#UCCSynod Mother Yvonne Delk reminding us all that it is about the community struggle. Her community made sure she was good. She, in turn, did right by them. Has done more than right by us. She was the first African-American woman ordained in the UCC.
What a blessing to hear from Yvonne Delk, about her history with the Afro Christian Convention and the UCC — especially on this day when Rev. Dr. Thompson was elected as GMP, a door kicked down by Rev. Delk #UCCSynod

We made history today, electing Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia Thompson (the 1st woman & 1st Black woman) as the UCC's General Minister & President.
“Today, we created a first together. It won’t be the last first.” Rev. Dr. Thompson

#UCCSynod We are considering the morality of clean syringe exchange programs in the shadows of the recent Scott County HIV outbreak due to dirty needle sharing and a state government that worsened it with its inaction. This is a harm reduction strategy and witness of our faith!
The testimony happening right now about people’s pain and the resurrection possible through harm reduction is such a powerful reminder of why we are better church together when we don’t call the question. #UCCSynod
