Beck and Coopwood Attend 2010 GALA Retreat

“The weekend’s theme “Living in the Light” was beautifully orchestrated by frequent references to local native lore and symbolized throughout our time together. Our guest ministers were Apostle James Slauter, president of the Council of Twelve and Kathy Slater, president of the Greater Northwest Mission Center.”

“Additional sessions included a discussion of the church’s new Sexual Ethics Statement, which is soon to be published in the Herald and the procedures and preparations being done by World Church leaders for the upcoming 2012 USA Conference.”

Listening Circles Introduced to the Congregation

On Sunday, May 16th, Pastor Andrea Henson, co-facilitated by Pat McKay, introduced the concept of Listening Circles to the congregation.
The World Church has requested that we form these circles in our congregation (6-10 people each) for the purpose of listening to each other in a safe, non threatening environment. Listening Circles are a tool that can be used to discuss any difficult issue. The World Church has requested that the issue of homosexuality in the Community of Christ be our first focus.
