It's Annual Conference time for the people called Methodist in North Carolina. That means that today and tomorrow the clergy and laity of the United Methodist Church are assembled in the Convention Center of Greenville, NC to discuss the ministry of the conference. Since the reality of denominational work includes the business of finances, pensions, and insurance, some of our time together is devoted to attending to those matters. That is exactly what we were doing in the hour before 5:00 and I was sitting with the crew from St. James UMC, the church I served before going back to school five years ago.
It's good to be able to sit with people you like, even through business meetings.
