In Episode 47 of “The United Methodist People Podcast,” Rev. Dr. Brad Miller engages in an in-depth conversation with three core leaders of The Room For All Coalition.  The Room For All Coalition was formed in the Indiana Annual Conference in 2019 as a response to decisions made at the 2019 General Conference which (RFA) considered destructive to the church by bringing harm to persons who identify as LGBTQ+ and their allies. Alberto Hidalgo îs a layperson from the Broadway UMC in Indianapolis who became heartbroken when he saw the UMC make a decision that when against his passion regarding inclusivity in the church. He got involved with The Room for All Coalition and is was elected as a Jurisdictional delegate from the Indiana Annual Conference. Rev. Mary Dicken is an ordained Deacon in the Indiana Conference of The United Methodist Church, currently serving at Meridian Street United Methodist Church in Indianapolis and previously serving churches throughout southern Indiana and in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She is passionate about connecting the church with the hurts and hopes of the world, creating space for sacred questions, and making room for people who have not always felt comfortable or welcome in the church. Rev. Jerry Rairdon is the Lead Pastor of First UMC-Noblesville, Indiana. When the decisions at the 2019 General Conference troubled him to his soul he received a spiritual leading to do something about it. This leads him to become one of the founding members of The Room For All Coalition. All three of these leaders shared their faith stories and how that lead them to become a part of The Room For All Coalition. The conversation Brad had with RFA leaders dealt with an honest assessment of the state of the church including the uneasiness regarding the delay in the General Conference until 2022 and how the stress of not making a decision is problematic. The discussion leads to the listening and learning the RFA has been doing with local churches and church folk which is a part of sharing and interpreting the agenda of RFA to be inclusive of LGBTQ+ folk. The conversation concluded with a discussion by all parties on a vision and hope for the church moving forward. Episode 47 of The United Methodist People Podcast is an important listen for any person wanting to understand the position of groups like the Room For All Coalition.

His call to create a church where his children and grandchildren would want to attend. The context that the Bible is not clear on matters of human sexuality. The choice between the traditional plan and the one church plan How our church approaches the General Conference matters almost as much as the vote. People today come to faith often through opportunities for service. The call to create a groundswell of unity in the UMC. There is much to consider for the thoughtful UMC leader in Episode 012 of The United Methodist People Podcast with Rev. Dr. Brad Miller.

The purpose of The United Methodist People Podcast with Rev. Dr. Brad Miller is to strengthen the connection in the United Methodist Church through conversation and commentary.  In Episode 011 Brad interviews Rev. Rob Fuquay author of “A New Reformation” and Senior Pastor of St. Luke’s UMC, a large membership church in Indianapolis, Indiana. Rob talks to Brad about his faith journey growing up in North Carolina and the importance of youth fellowship programs in his faith formation.  He speaks of spending time in ministry in England where he became aware of his calling within the calling to be an ambassador of keeping the local church fresh.  He gave an example of the church staying fresh through the small group ministry at his church which had been helpful to transforming the life of a self-destructive young man. Brad and Rob talked about the challenges of the church accomplishing the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world and the encouragement of seeing pockets of transformation in opposition to the trend of decline. Rob shared with Brad his views on “The Way Forward” emphasizing that the one church plan endorsed by the majority of UMC Bishops allows for the “big tent” of the UMC to be expanded to meet the needs of people from a differing perspective on the matters of human sexuality facing the church.  In particular, he noted that many lay people would likely prefer to avoid divorce court and hold the church together. Rob sees signs of hope in the church when the church is willing to die for the cause of Christ.  That is when the church remains fresh. Brad’s interview with Rob Fuquay is a good leaning listen on Episode 011 of The United Methodist People Podcast where he also reviews the book “Canoeing the Mountains” by Tod Bolsinger. Rev.

Today on No Limits we talk about what the annual Indiana Conference for Women will highlight including a special honor for one Hoosier woman. Our guests are Bille Dragoo, founder and CEO of RepuCare and Marie Davis, executive director of the conference.

The purpose The United Methodist People Podcast is to strengthen the connection in the United Methodist Church through conversation and commentary as a means of accomplishing the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The United Methodist People Podcast is published on regular basis by Rev. Dr. Brad Miller an Elder in the Indiana Conference. In Episode 009 Brad continues with a series of Episodes “The Bishop’s Speak” by having an in-depth conversation with Chicago Area Bishop Sally Dyck who serves the Northern Illinois Annual Conference. Bishop Dyck shared with Brad here early call to ministry in her home state of Washington influenced greatly by her experiences with a woman chaplain who opened her up to the opportunity of women serving in ministry. She pursued her calling in college and seminary at Boston University and then connecting with the East Ohio Annual Conference where she served as a local church pastor and District Superintendent for a number of years. In 2004 she was elected to the episcopacy and assigned to the Minnesota Annual Conference where she served for eight years until her assignment to the Northern Illinois Annual Conference (Chicago Area) in 2012. Brad asked Bishop Dyck about how effective ministry has been in Northern Illinois in achieving our mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Bishop Dyck spoke of a number of ministries and churches reaching millennials and transient populations. In particular, she pointed to “The Urban Village” ministry as an innovative approach which has been effective in reaching people with the Good News and forming new faith communities. She went on to talk about the profound challenges facing the church, including the reality that many approaches to ministry, even when done well, are no longer effective. The conversation shifted to Bishop Dyck’s comments on “A Way Forward” in the UMC and her thought on what will happen at the 2019 General Conference. She spoke of how the movement to find a way forward has led to a time of simultaneous convergence and divergence in the church which necessitates a moment in the church dramatically different than the status quo. She also talked about how she understands and the UMC as a “Big Tent” Church with much diversity which she sees as a strength. There is tension in the diversity of the big tent which can lead to growth, but she warned that when tension goes to a breaking point it can shatter the organization into a million pieces. She is asking for and is hopeful that the UMC can move forward in peace and not in pieces if we focus on what we have in unity over what our differences are within the UMC. If the church shatters nobody wins. She pointed out that many local churches have already dealt with divisive matters internally, including those dealing with human sexuality and how the General Conference can learn from these local churches. She emphasized that the bulk of UMC’s what to move forward together and the big sign of hope in the church is that the church has been forced to examine deeply why we exist as a church and the way forward is forcing a course correction in the church which on balance is a healthy thing to do. Bishop Sally Dyck gives a lot of food for thought for those who love the UMC and know we live in a demeaning moment in the church in Episode 009 of The United Methodist People Podcast with Rev.

Randy goes on to tell Brad about the overall vision of church development in the Indiana Conference which is the development of Alpha teams to focus on new church planting and Omega teams to work on redeveloping existing local churches. In both teams the emphasis of church development is for the church to see discipleship as a verb and how there is no room in discipleship for people to be merely pew sitters.

The first being the ability to move forward in ambiguity and be welcoming to diverse religious perspectives and the second being the great opportunity for leaders to thrive in the church.
