Yes, this post will be about church, but it's not what you think. Inspired by the recent discussion about "What's Next" in the movement for progressive values, I wanted to share about the work I am doing to make the United Methodist Church a more inclusive and progressive place.

Before all the non-religious folks bolt, let me say that this isn't another post about what it means to be a "Faithful Democrat"--this is about being fully involved in an organization, running for leadership, and using the power of integrity, trust, and respectful listening to influence people's beliefs toward a progressive point of view.
