Dean Moore and School of Theology featured in UMNS Story about General Conference 2019
March 28, 2019 – The United Methodist News Service recently posted another recap of the General Conference 2019 decision affirming the church’s ban on LGBTQ individuals serving as clergy or church officials performing same-sex marriage ceremonies.
Boston University School of Theology was featured twice in this article; firstly, using a photo taken by Director of Enrollment Rev. Dr. Anastasia E. B. Kidd (see picture below), and secondly through a moving quote offered by Dean Mary Elizabeth Moore: “I reacted to the decisions (at) General Conference with sobs, which I have not done since my daughter and I distributed my husband’s ashes in the Pacific Ocean,” said the Rev. Mary Elizabeth Moore, dean and professor of theology and education at Boston University School of Theology. “I am devastated about where our church is at the present moment, and I am also determined to be part of a new wind of change.”
