Sexism in the church? Spot it, stop it.
Rev. Jeff McDowell, District Superintendent of the Finger Lakes District is inviting any of our Clergy to this program that are interested.

WHERE: Seneca Falls (please see flyer that is attached below)
TIME: 9 am-2 pm
Special Guest Speaker:
Dr. Melanie Duguid-May
Dr. May is the John Price Crozer Professor of Theology, Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School
It is our hope you will leave the day informed and inspired to help all God's people live, "love one another as I have loved you" Jn.13:34 and begin a path to eradicate the sin of sexism levied at women in the church. Bring your questions and prayers to this sensitive topic in our faith communities and be prepared to pray for the wounded among us who have been the target of sexism's sting.
Dr. May is an expert on gender studies in religious life, an ordained American Baptist minister, and well published author. Among her many publications is her book, "Bonds of Unity: Women, Theology and the Worldwide Church"
More details to come but please plan to take this day and learn more about what sexism is in our faith community and what we can do to survive it while helping other see the harm it leaves in its wake so to transform our behaviors in the name of Christ

REGIONAL GATHERINGS
Upper New York Area Resident Bishop Mark J. Webb has announced regional gatherings that he will be hosting throughout the Upper New York Conference in April and May. These regional gatherings will primarily focus on unpacking the Judicial Council's decision regarding the constitutionality of the petitions that made up the Traditional Plan affirmed by the delegates of the 2019 Special Session of The General Conference. It will also be a time to help attendees to understand what becomes part of the Book of Discipline on January 1, 2020 and what does not. These times will include an opportunity for questions and conversation about what God might be doing in and through The United Methodist Church in the future. There will be a brief time of worship at each gathering as well.
The dates, times, and locations of these gatherings are as follows:
4/8/19

Get the Details on Court Ruling for Clergy Housing Allowance
Wondering if your Clergy Housing Allowance will still be tax free in the future? United Methodist News Service has the story.
"In a unanimous decision released March 15, three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit reversed a 2017 federal court ruling. The lower court had found that the tax exemption amounted to an unconstitutional establishment of religion.
The appeals court concluded the 1954 law is constitutional, saying the law 'has a secular legislative purpose, its principal effect is neither to endorse nor to inhibit religion, and it does not cause excessive government entanglement.' The ruling also noted that Congress has provided federal tax exemptions for religious organizations as far back as 1802.
