Bishop LaTrelle Easterling is the Episcopal leader of the Baltimore Washington Annual Conference, one of the most diverse annual conferences in the United Methodist Church. Bishop Easterling recently shared with her conference that she believes that we can maintain our unity beyond differing understandings of God's intention for human sexuality. "Is it perfect," she asks. "No, it is not," she wrote, "but we have not arrived at perfection on the matters of gender and race either. It would, however rid us of charges and trials that deplete our resources and curtail our focus on mission." We begin by asking why she personally has decided to support the One Church Plan. She shares her belief that this issue is not about human sexuality, or even biblical interpretation, but perhaps something all together different.
