Jason Sutfin is an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church, currently serving in the Arkansas Annual Conference. As the UMs in Arkansas prepare for their next Special Called session on May 13, Jason wanted to help me understand the different dynamics at play there.

This video is for anyone who wants to better understand the (dys)function of this particular conference and how at least one elder sees the options before them.
