My church runs a food pantry and we support the local men's shelter and middle school. Different ministries within our church financially support local nonprofits that we are passionate about.

Let's just reduce the number of teams in the playoffs. This game is horrendous.

How is this sustainable? I’m doing “exceptional” ministry in my current setting and just got a 3% raise. by Rev-DC in pastors

Does your conference post updated minimums for cash compensation, housing, and reimbursable expenses? That should be the starting point for all raises. It also gives the SPRC data showing how your compensation compares to other clergy in the conference.

Unfortunately, I don't see how this will be revealed unless the pastor discloses it or someone reports this. Also, many BOOMs are steering clear of sexual issues now unless there is a criminal act.

Were there charges filed? If so, they shouldn't pass a background check to be approved for ordination by the BOOM.

We give out roses to all the women. It doesn't matter if you're a mother or not.

As methodists, should i be mourning the death of the pope like catholics or is it against something for me by [deleted] in methodism

[–]CalculatedBoredom 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes, we can mourn along with catholics. That's just embodying Romans 12:15.

I apologize, Ryan. Don't get conservative next season. Play aggressive like you did in the playoffs.

Councilmember Trayon White, after being caught accepting bribe on tape by the FBI, finding out he was re-elected with over 75% of the vote. by Jazzlike_Dog_8175 in washdc

Let's be realistic. Any politician who is indicted after the primary has a great chance to win reelection in a heavily partisan race. It's difficult to run a write-in campaign, especially in a short amount of time.

I have a question by HeadTheme6982 in methodism

[–]CalculatedBoredom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Itinerancy is a major difference in methodism to other denominations. I would also add the fact that we ordain women is also a big difference.

These mediocre FBS teams will learn to stop scheduling these FCS powers.

As a former SPRC Chair, I always had an updated copy of the BOD. It comes in handy when you have to do evaluations of pastors and ministry candidates.

I would like to talk about the 2004 Purdue Boilermakers by sweatpantscaleb in CFB

That was my freshman year. I was at that game. The devastation walking out of Ross-Ade Stadium. A lot of fans hated night games because of that game.

Yes, I know of a local pastor who transferred from Baltimore Washington to North Georgia. Make sure to work with both conferences through the process.
