COMMISSIONERS CORNER – GA 225
“The opening day of the General Assembly was full of anticipation, hope, and thoughtful discussions about who everyone was supporting for Co-Moderators. When evening came and it was time for the moderator discussions and questions, I could feel the how the spirit was moving us forward.
I was overwhelmed after Ruth and Shavon were elected. It was beautiful to see their families and close friends walk in after the results were counted. The beauty was in the diversity of the those that surrounded them, and the spirit of the commissioners sending them forth. In our changing world, I am hopeful that Ruth and Shavon will lead our vibrant denomination forward in God’s world.”
by Elder Dave Huting, Commissioner to the 225th General Assembly
