1 June, St. Albans, UK [David Neal]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a title which expresses both hope and a need. Familiar is the reminder of hope. No surprise either is the call to action. There was a time when the General Conference Session was the most powerful symbol of Adventism\u2019s global reach. As our church becomes more and more multicultural, we can see the \u201cworld church\u201d represented in our local congregation. Nonetheless, something stirs as we think about the soon coming and long overdue \u2018gathering\u2019; as we picture delegates from all ends of the earth coming together to discuss, consider, worship and fellowship with each other in St. Louis, USA.<\/p>\n

No doubt delegates will look back in gratitude as to how God has led. And for sure, they will undoubtedly wish to re-affirm the great hope \u2013 Jesus is Coming again!<\/strong> By implication, the call to \u2018get involved\u2019 must mean that some are not. How to address that will surely be considered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>TEDNews <\/em>will be present in the room, steered and shaped by David Neal and Vanesa Pizzuto, with daily reports from St. Louis for the duration of the Session (6-11 June). Reporting on multiple platforms (including TikTok!)<\/strong> bringing you a variety of reports with up to the minute actions, a \u2018Yesterday in St. Louis\u2019 report, an \u2018Under the Arch\u2019 reflection, and stories of people who sparkle.<\/p>\n

For delegates \u2013 the agenda is heavy and compressed. At first glance it looks like policy, constitution, and Church Manual \u2013 all necessary for the denomination to function well. But we\u2019ll be digging deep to find agenda items, discussion points and election outcomes which signal that Adventism is still a movement. If Jesus is coming \u2013 what else could it be?<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n

Best wishes,<\/p>\n
