In this episode of No Hate Radio, host Don Windle is joined by Rev. Andy Oliver, Helen Ryde, and Cameron Helwege to discuss the significant developments from the recent United Methodist Church General Conference, at which all three guests were there to witness the monumental changes. The conversation delves into the removal of harmful language from the Book of Discipline, Revised social principles, and the framework for regionalization to better serve diverse global contexts.
Hear firsthand accounts of the emotional and strategic efforts behind these changes, reflecting decades of advocacy and struggle. Helen Ryde shares their journey and the profound impact of lifting the ordination ban, while Rev. Andy Oliver discusses the importance of intersectional justice within the church. Cameron Helwege provides insights into the positive energy and renewed hope felt during the conference.
Join us as we seek to understand how these historic decisions will hopefully transform the United Methodist Church into a more inclusive and loving community, and the ongoing efforts required to heal and move forward.
