I'm not a regular pastor; I'm a cool pastor. Horrible at Twitter unless there’s a conference. she/her

Yay!! ❤️

Just to reiterate. Yesterday's demonstration came after 1000 days of someone else being invisible. Our backs were not to the bishop, we were facing the body. And those who have been invisible for far too long. #VAUMC22

Taking a stand is an act of justice seeking. Sometimes this is necessary. #vaumc22

If I had interpreted the discipline on the fly and without citations…I wouldn’t be ordained. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #vaumc22

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

@GoodNewsLeah In contrast, it was the first moment of peace and relief I’d felt so far at #vaumc22

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

@GoodNewsLeah I think that a write up will be available soon, but the people gathered at the microphone have gone above and beyond to be transparent and communicate their concerns for years at annual conference. We need to make sure all members are prepared and have access to info before ac.

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

I would love to know how many people are clergy or active laity in some part because of @brownjrs ❤️❤️❤️ I know he kept me here! #vaumc22

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

This was my primary why. You are loved and supported. So are the ones to whom you’ve shown love and support!

[Drew Ensz @drewensz]

Thank you #vaumc22. You might think you can imagine how much that meant to me, but then multiply that by 1,000. Thank you.

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

@brandy_daniels Finally able to vote on the motion to send it to judicial council! Bless. And a moment that made this conference feel worthwhile apart from the reunion aspects of it all!

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

If this is truly ignored I think we need to walk out. #vaumc22

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

This moment is an answer to prayer. Thank you to all of those standing, whether for procedure, inclusion, or both. Keep standing. ❤️ #vaumc22

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

@KatieOK_ Security is super sweet. If we are not threatening harm (and of course we are not) we are welcome up here.

Do not leave please ❤️ #vaumc22

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

@MarthaEStokes has entered the chat! THANK YOU #vaumc22

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

If you’re provisional and scared this group will fight for you too. #vaumc22

[Christa Springstead @revspringstead]

@JoshuaKBlakely For what?

[Joshua Blakely @JoshuaKBlakely]

Come through, youth! #vaumc22

I'm not even attending #vaumc22 and I'm getting frustrated with it lol
That was my 17 y.o. cousin, btw, whose question y'all didn't answer. Solid reminder of why I stopped being a delegate and attending in general.
