these ribbons are on their way to GA - look out for them "walking around" :-)
Leaving for GA in 2 days - some work to do still with organizing papers and things but with today's good news from the Methodist Church, UK, I am feeling ready to go.
The Methodists in the UK announced, with perfect timing for PCUSA, a boycott of goods from illegal israeli settlements. Hallelujah!

it's going to be great...
so we launched this new website with 2-way communications. I am hoping to post to it from General Assembly - pictures, videos and news... Let's hope we get a few people signing on to the community. It would be nice to get a few people attending GA to post here about the comings and goings. meantime, check out Jim Wall's new piece about the"Kangaroo Court."

Yesterday we watched the England/USA game in the World Cup - it was a draw which is really a win for the US since England is supposedly the strongest team in the group of 4 with Slovenia and Algeria.
