Bishop Rowe said the church is avoiding public statements full of outrage on divisive issues like immigration and the war in Gaza, instead listening to those most affected.
PB Rowe: “Our true power lies not in me making a barrage of statements, or in us collectively reacting to every outrage that the world presents … [but] in a churchwide structure rooted in Christ and in the kingdom principles that can make a strong and effective witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Presiding Bishop Rowe and President of the House of Deputies Ayala Harris decry a series of executive orders signed by the president just after taking office and call for “mercy and compassion” for those threatened with deportation.
The two people trying to unseat President of the House of Deputies Julia Ayala Harris made their final pitches June 21, on the eve of General Convention.
