Steven Taylor had a life in engineering before the Lord called him to service in ordained ministry. Deeply formed by camping ministry, with a heart for the Northeast, Steven served in the Confessing Movement for many years before being entrusted with a lot of the leadership transitioning out of the UMC and into the GMC. This servant leadership was acknowledged as he was appointed to serve as the Conference Superintendent of the Northeast Annual Conference.
This conference has the highest population of any of our American conferences, with huge metropolitan areas. Even so, it is only a mid-sized conference with respect to the number of churches and average attendance. Its constituency is not necessarily representative of all of the constituencies in that region. Even so, Steven trusts in the Spirit and is optimistic about future prospects of making disciples and spreading scriptural holiness.
This was an edifying conversation about Steven's personal ministry, his theological insights in dialogue with demographic realities and challenges. Steven is liked and respected by many colleagues, and for good reason. I think it would be of benefit to many Global Methodists to consult his wisdom here in order to know how to pray, not just for the Northeast Conference, but also for our covenant body as a whole.
