New weblog for the President and Vice President
The leaders of the Methodist Church have launched a
weblog. Revd Martyn Atkins, President of the Conference, and Vice
President Ms Ruby Beech will use the weblog to share their thoughts
during their year of office.
Martyn and Ruby began adding blog entries after the Methodist
Conference in mid-July. Martyn says, "One of the most important
tasks for the President and Vice President is to talk and listen to
people. We will do this by speaking to individuals and groups and
by travelling widely and our regular columns in the Methodist
Recorder, but now we can add the weblog to this list as
well."
Ruby adds "John and Charles Wesley travelled thousands of miles on
horseback to meet people, and those meetings were often quite noisy
and challenging. This weblog will allow us to discuss things with
people all over the world, and to share our experiences. There are
many weblogs by Methodists - both individuals and groups - and by
people from other churches, but this is the first time that the
President and Vice President have tried this."
