The UMC has me tearing up today. Mujinga Kashala has been elected as the first female bishop in the Mid Africa Central Conference.
The world is messy, but there is still beauty.
She is pictured here in blue, embracing Bishop Malone, the first ever black female bishop in The UMC

December 5th's song is "Even Jesus God the Blues" by Gabe Lee.
