 I come in from a different tradition, and so what really attracted me to United Methodism is the focus on communion and real presence, and then the aspects of grace that are the hallmark of the United Methodist Church. So theology really brought me in and gets me excited as we continue on as a United Methodist. I came from a tradition that went through a difficult time, and now here I am again with the United Methodist, so it's an interesting time, but my hope is that in our struggle with our culture and our world difficulty right now is that we find a way that we can unify around the grace of God that comes in the good news of Jesus Christ, so that we really can transform our community, our culture, and our world, and that really is my hope for United Methodist. Just starting in New Church, in a pandemic with a crisis going around the world and economic unrest in the United States, right now it's just trying to help the church to settle down and take a breath and move through these times, so that in the next six to eight months as we dialogue with being a new pastor for them and them being in their context that we figure out a way that we can find new ministries that can truly penetrate the community in different ways that may really help the growth of the community of Christ.
