This podcast will be released on August 7th, 2023.
Our guest is Wybra Price. Wybra has completed his first year as Pastor at Broadmoor UMC in Shreveport, Louisiana. Wybra is an Elder in the Louisiana Conference of the United Methodist Church. His Master of Divinity is from Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and his Doctor of Ministry is from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC
Wybra LinkedIn page is HERE and is part of where I got my introduction.
Our theme was talking about what was going on in other elements of our connection.
Wybra had by virtue of his role on the Louisiana Conference Cabinet a particular perspective to disaffiliation in the UMC.
Paragraph 2553 of our UM Book of Discipline is HERE. This was passed in order in 2019 in order to provide an avenue for churches unhappy with the current wording in our polity the means to leave the UMC. Ironically, the intended user in 2019 is not using the provision, rather, it is by and large the forces that developed the policy.
Disaffiliation statistics are HERE.
A book I mention by Richard Haass is HERE. Right now this is Kindle version. Will make it more expansive when I get a chance.
Our guest for release on August 21st will be The Reverend Doctor Sarah Calvert, District Superintendent for Northern Virginia, Virginia Conference of the United Church. Our topic will be anxiety and urgency: defining, identifying, and dealing with.
I am consciously moving more to church leadership in a mindful manner on these excursions and use colleagues both in the Mountain Sky Conference and other conferences to talk an idea (or two or three or six) of leadership.
