NASCUMC Meetings in Marco Island

A productive day of meetings today in Marco Island, Florida, addressing many current issues confronting the United Methodist Church and Methodist higher education following Friday’s agreement aimed at using separation in resolving the LGBTQ impasse in the Church. Stayed tuned in the days ahead (Monday or Tuesday) for some significant announcements from our meeting of the NASCUMC presidents. As President of the National Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities of the United Methodist Church (NASCUMC), I presided at the day long Executive Committee, Board of Directors, and Business Session.
