I am validated by your comment Jeanie Jo! Also, by Michelles comment as well. Lots of overlap.

I have a few friends in ministry I am close to, and we talk about these issues often.

Working on overall organizational health will be a big challenge for "big" and "little" UMC!

Thank you, Michelle and Pastor Vicky for your replies! I am reminded of Matthew 25:34-40 (do unto the least of these). I want a future for the UMC where our commitment to the homeless/marginalized/excluded is unquestioned. I don't think we are there yet. But getting closer?
