Category Image Seminar with Tiffany Steinwert: Preparing for General Conference


November 3, 10 am- 3 pm








“We create change in our church and in our world by telling our stories. Stories communicate our values through the language of the heart. Rather than antagonizing a spirit of divisiveness and polarization by engaging in fruitless debates, telling our stories fosters relationships by creating empathetic links that bridge the cultural and ecclesial divides.” Reverend Tiffany Steinwert


The 2008 General Conference of the United Methodist Church will be in Ft. Worth, TX


Take part in a witness to our North Texas Conference delegates by joining in a two-step approach:

1. Participate in a training session led by
Rev. Tiffany Steinwert
2. Create a fellowship of communication with
one (or more) of the elected delegates to
General Conference
- at events hosted by Northaven and other
area churches
- regularly through the coming months
Or be an alternate for such events

Rev. Steinwert will lead us in learning how to advocate for full inclusion of GLBT persons within the United Methodist Church through building relationships and telling our Reconciling stories.
We will develop techniques to interact effectively with the delegates by going over talking points and practicing telling our stories.
The training time is four hours. An hour for lunch (provided) is also included.
The commitment is for that session and to prayerfully consider being a part of our longer-term project to interact with delegates and witness at the General Conference.

To register or for more information, please contact Cindy Waskom
