I do not come to General Assembly hoping that everyone will just say the easy things, so it was deeply affirming to me that you spoke so eloquently about YRUU and our current situation in youth ministry. And it's deeply affirming to me that you are still here. The end of LRY happened when I was a teen. I hear you! <br /><br />Thank you for your good work for our faith, and I am glad that you are still here.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779463691582868798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308921546745481048.post-39478821199186008362011-06-25T23:35:48.860-07:002011-06-25T23:35:48.860-07:00Thanks so much for your kind words - a friend let ...Thanks so much for your kind words - a friend let me know of your comments. It was an honor to be in such good company last night, and I. I want to say that I deeply value my relationship with Bill and his leadership in UU youth ministry/movements over the last 50 years - we have both been in complicated political roles, and he has never shied away from doing what he thought was best for it. I'm grateful to now get to work with him as a guest presenter in my youth ministry course as Starr King; he's been very generous with his historical perspective and we are lucky for it. <br /><br />Have a wonderful rest of GA!<br /><br />Betty Jeanne Rueters-WardBetty Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232890180479900915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308921546745481048.post-40978040525026913342011-06-25T12:32:32.508-07:002011-06-25T12:32:32.508-07:00Lovely writing my friend.

In between printing out Faith in Action projects, creating a list of potential volunteers, & wondering why my two boys have been so quiet in their room for the past hour, I am reading tweets, fb updates, and blogs from the front lines of GA. It was so great to just read yours! Have fun my Love! Sing so so so loud for me, k? (Agh! Now I am crying just thinking about the chillbumpy joyfulness that is singing at GA. Wow.) Smooches!
