“Another evil disease which every human soul brings into the world with him is pride—a continual proneness to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. Every man can discern more or less of this disease in everyone—but himself.” - John Wesley

I think I was wrong. Mostly. A couple of days ago I took umbrage with the Reference Committee of the GMC disqualifying one of pieces of legislation I put before them. I should have acknowledged on the front end that I did a poor job preparing the work. I’m embarrassed to have my work rejected, and I’m upset that I didn’t provide a more airtight format for the consideration of the ideas I submitted. The truth is that I have been operating on a lack of time and energy for a long time, and I did a worse job than if I had been able to be more present to the task at hand. I’m upset that my negligence may have left some defenses open for the GMC. I hope I’m wrong in my pessimistic considerations. The other part I was wrong about: There actually is language in the Book of Doctrines & Discipline that constrains the Reference Committee in how they do their work. If I read it in the first place, I forgot it. I should have done a comprehensive search of the document prior to speaking. I had thought that they were operating on language that was supplemented by a source outside of the General Conference. Nope. They were abiding by pretty clear instructions. I wrote them an email privately asking that they consider a more charitable posture, and I still agree with a lot of that, but I under-appreciated on the front end how constrained they actually are. Many of the names on that committee are people that I have known and respected for a long time. I still do. So I wish I had sat on this for a week before commenting. The two people that gently and publicly rebuked me (because I issued the public complaint) were Nate Fugate and Kelly McCuaig. Much respect and appreciation for those guys showing me what I wasn’t able to see on my own. I would like to retract the words I said that called into question the motives or capabilities of the constituent members of the Reference Committee and state my appreciation for them. I have told them privately how much I appreciate those serving in their capacities, and I’d like to affirm that publicly. While I do continue to have some concerns about how information and power are dealt with in denominations, broadly speaking, I don’t think this issue is rightly considered part of that concern. To my best understanding, the Reference Committee is doing their jobs well, and I’m grateful to them for that. Nobody in authority contacted me about this or asked me to retract my words. No pressure. I was just wrong and I have a belief that integrity matters.

“If God can instantaneously make a spiritual man out of a sinner, he can, with even greater ease, make a holy man out of a Christian.” — Beverly Carradine, Methodist pastor & evangelist (1848-1931). FUN FACT: He is the great-grandfather of actors Keith, Robert, and David Carradine.
