Why MFSA?
Why are you involved? Share your story -- 1 year from General Conference
We are now less than a year away from the opening of the 2012 United Methodist General Conference in Tampa, FL. During the dates of General Conference one year out (April 25-May 4), MFSA is encouraging its members and friends to share reflections on their involvement with the Methodist Federation for Social Action. Each day, beginning today, we'll feature one or two blogs from MFSA members and friends writing about their experiences, and we're asking everyone to join in. If you have a blog, you can write a post and share it with us on Facebook and Twitter. We have a brand new MFSA Twitter account as well as a hashtag (#whyMFSA), so if brevity is your thing, join the conversation there.
Our first blog comes from Rev. Becca Clark, elder in the New England Conference. To see subsequent blogs, visit www.mfsaweb.org. (We will not be sending daily emails.)
Inspiration and Hope: Why I'm a part of MFSA
I am part of the Methodist Federation for Social Action because it both inspires me and gives me hope. For me, MFSA lifts up the greatest strengths and addresses the greatest areas of weakness in my denomination. One of the biggest things that drew me to The United Methodist Church as a college student was the denomination's commitment to mission work that equips and empowers, and never uses assistance as a bait-and-switch conversion tool.
