Generation of Youth for Christ, an annual gathering of Conservative Adventists (read, Adventists who still think its the 1800s), was held this year in Houston Texas. This year I missed out on being present in Houston to hear the likes of Ted Wilson talk about how Adventist schools should cut funding from athletic programs, effectively obliterating them, as I have the past couple of years. Despite not being there, I do have a clues on how GYC went down from the comments that various attendees left on twitter. Have a look:
