It’s a Mad Mission… Sign Me Up

(my transcript)

DEVIN MAUNEY: Now Bishop, this is my first General Conference to be a delegate and I’m not confused about these petitions. So, what I am confused about is how our most venerable leaders in the church are so confused. I think it’s actually very clear what these petitions would do. They would give us the opportunity to listen to what the study committee over the next four years tells us and implement those results. I urge the passage of this petition because we have already passed a separate petition with language similar. Now, some leaders in our church have been able to create confusion through amendment upon amendment and motion to refer upon motion to refer. But I would urge us to refrain from that and use the rules to help the majority of this conference rather than hinder the progress of this conference. Please vote in favor of this petition.

(applause)

BISHOP ALFRED GWINN: Alright, thank you. I request maybe next time you speak with a bit more passion (laughter), but you did it in love and we’re very grateful for that.

Archives of the General Conference streams are here. This took place on the Thursday, May 1 afternoon session at 2:12:50 on the video. Start watching at 2:07:30 to see a little of the ridiculousness from our “most venerable leaders”.
