Attended my first quarterly conference Thursday night

I have been a Methodist all my life but never attended a quarterly conference before and probably will not find it necessary to do so again.  However, daughter Jessica was present to ask the congregation to approve her as she starts on the long road to becoming ordained.  She was approved  unanimously by written ballot, as expected because members have known her since she was a baby.  Laying on hands while the district superintendent said a prayer was impressive.  She must now appear before the district and address persons who do not know her.

The pastor of a  large Baptist church in Dallas has started a religious and political argument, something I hate. He has criticized Mormons and Roman Catholics.  Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics have carried on a bitter discussion on Tiger Droppings, which has grown to 337 comments.  So much of their disagreements are due to ignorance of both denominations and nothing good comes of this
