We Hyun Chang, stepped to the microphone to ask if we could somehow bring the conversation up for discussion because of the profound justice issues involved. Another young clergy person from Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, the Rev. Dawn Taylor-Storm stepped to the microphone and gave an eloquent description to the gathered body of what was happening in the twitter-sphere and the outcry that was emerging globally.
She was echoed by the Rev. Robin Hynicka, also from Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, who offered another speech for discussion. However, in the end the body voted once again not to take the time during plenary to discuss the decision that had been made previously in Committee.
After the vote, the plenary session took a break; and when it took them a while to return, those tweeting became hopeful, thinking that the delegates were taking a stand and refusing to return. That is just one example of how technology is transforming the way that the conversation is taking place, but I could share many others. Yet, I am convinced that all of that is changing.
Voices previously unheard are now being heard. In the age of Twitter, Facebook and texting, most of us do not have a vote — but all of us can have a voice if there are people who are willing to listen.
If you want to become a part of the conversation, go to twitter. When participants tweet, they attach those hashtags to their tweets so that people who want to know what General Conference Young People or General Conference people are thinking, they can easily search for it with those letters. When you do this all the tweets that have been written with those hashtags will come up. Box Valley Forge, PA Steven Rodas , 2h ago. Another hazing scandal rocks N. Why does this keep happening?
