Rev. Dr. JoAnne Lyon, General Superintendent of the Wesleyan Church and a leader in the Pan-Methodist movement, was among those invited to greet Pope Francis on the White House Lawn. She wrote a very thoughtful reflection concerning that occasion. It is also an explanation of how the cause of the poor, the immigrant and those impacted by disaster in our world is especially important to those who are disciples of Jesus and also claim to be inheritors of the teachings of John Wesley. It is an inspiring read.
