GC 2019 ended days ago. Now the people of The United Methodist Church are invited to pause and reflect on how the movement continues.

The commission did their work. A conference was held. Speeches were given. Delegates voted. Decisions were made. Now what?
In the days following General Conference 2019, the desire to move ahead is alluring. Those happy with the decisions made at GC 2019 are ready for implementation. Those grieving the results are tempted to react rashly.
At times like these, however, scripture encourages us to pause, listen and actively wait for the Spirit’s guidance. As the hymn states, reflecting Psalm 46:10, “Be still, my soul: your God will undertake to guide the future, as in ages past” (“Be Still, My Soul” verse 2, United Methodist Hymnal 534).
