By a landside! This is a very good day for Holston Conference United Methodist Victims of domestic violence. Resolution 1 passed by a vast majority. This is the resolution that two other people and myself worked on as an initiative of the new Holston Conference Domestic Violence Task Force.
Stuart Auditorium was packed with up to 1900 people. Only about 15 people voted nonconcurrence. Good job folks!
So how does this make hope happen?
It makes education and training on DV mandatory for all clergy serving within the boundaries of the Holston Conference. This runs from the extreme north Georgia and north Alabama throughout East Tennessee and into the western part of Virginia.
Soon, pastors will have the education and training they need to help the people we serve. I for one can't wait!
Thanks to all who voted!
