I have been reading many bogs in the past week about General Conference, the national body of the United Methodist Church that meets every four years– big stuff.  Blogs are a fantastic way to get news from afar.  Many are less than objective, of course, but you get a rich kind of overall picture that traditional journalism simply can’t grasp.  There was one post I read today from a member of our own dlegation, Mark Conard.  Check it out; I’m seriously honored to be serving literally just down the road from him in Hutchinson.
