"Through the power of Christ, we are learning to live in simplicity, thankfulness, contentment and
generosity in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana."

GC 2016: Day 8 - afternoon (May 18)

Prayer on the floor of GC
Young People's response
Afternoon business
Sand Creek Massacre report

Bishop Stanovsky comments on the Sand Creek report
Following the lunch break GC resumed with a heightened sense of anxiety filling every corner of the convention center. An appeal for unity from the young people's representatives, more parliamentary maneuvering, and reports of un-Christ-like behavior on the GC floor and elsewhere brought the GC to the point of being able to accept the original motion from the bishops.

When the GC eventually was able to move to other business the atmosphere of the convention center seemed to be lifted in a small, but appreciated manner.

Our bishop introduced the report of the Sand Creek Massacre commission which included the historian who was the principle author of the study and descendants of the massacre survivors.
