Davisville, Aug. 26, 2019: LGBT issues dis-unite the Methodists

Mon, 08/26/2019 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

DUMC banner 082419.jpg

Schism is an old word, meaning two sides with strong opinions breaking apart. The term might now apply to the United Methodist Church, a denomination of 13 million members worldwide that faces dis-unifying over gay rights. Brandon Austin, pastor of the Davis Methodist congregation, talks about the dispute, why it matters to people who might never give a thought to church, how to wrestle with the question of which traditions to keep and which to discard, and the choice of the Davis church to align with the pro-LGBT “reconciling” movement more than 20 years ago.

Davisville, Aug. 12, 2019: One year later with Councilmember Dan Carson

Mon, 08/12/2019 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

Dan Carson, August 2019.jpg

Dan Carson has completed his first year on the Davis City Council, and today on Davisville we get his take on several of the public questions the council has faced -- paid parking downtown, muni broadband, new rental housing projects, the ballot measure to indefinitely extend the extra 1-cent city sales tax, and the prospect that the state’s response to California's housing shortage might compel Davis to add thousands of new homes over time.
