Let's focus less on petty politics and more on social justice, more on caring for the earth, more on feeding the hungry. #MyChurchToo

What is central to this gospel for a broken world if not restoration of every person to full potential? Gal 3:28. #GCSA15 #MyChurchToo

If this was #mychurchtoo we would be discussing reaching postmoderns, #LGBTQ people, & #WO would be an admin decision. @spectrummag

You can leave. I don't blame you. But you may be able to have a greater impact for good if you stay and act. #GCSA15 #MyChurchToo

@AWWritesStories I want the church to know that it encourages scientific illiteracy and discourages critical thinking. #MyChurchToo

There needs to be room for differing beliefs and not an immediate expulsion from the church. e.g. FB6, etc #MyChurchToo #GCSA15

Whatever the vote, my memory is 100%. Won't forget how much people defamed women to resist equity. Will forgive. Won't forget. #MyChurchToo

This one and her still-gestating little sis need to hear they just as much the image of God. #GCSA15 #MyChurchToo pic.twitter.com/MZaDpDj1S3

I was at AU early 80s. Women friends studying theo. were told "Be patient. The church is changing." Has it? #MyChurchToo #GCSA15

In Jesus’ church, everyone is blessed…and shouldn't our church be His church? #MyChurchToo #GCSA15 http://t.co/qjldT4Hq4d
