The Love Your Neighbor App
From LYNC Press Release
The Love Your Neighbor Coalition has created a free event app to share information before and during General Conference. The app contains a news feed, a calendar of upcoming events, a network of supporters, and more.
Those interested can get the LYNC version by downloading a free app called "Guidebook" on any mobile device, searching within the app for "Love Your Neighbor Coalition," and downloading the guide with the LYNC logo.
Once installed, users are invited to update their info in the "Who's Here" section tostay connected. "This app is public and it's for everyone," said Julia Frisbie, head of communications for LYNC. "But it's made especially with our volunteers in mind. We are blessed with the most incredible people. This is one way we're trying to give back and make General Conference easier for them."
The app contains maps and important documents, as well as a way to populate users' personal schedules with LYNC events during General Conference. New features are being added shortly.
"If you'll be in Portland for General Conference," says Frisbie, "make sure to enable push notifications from the app. We probably won't use this feature more than once a day. But if something spontaneous starts happening, people who get the push notifications will be the first to know. That'll be our way of calling for all hands on deck."
The Love Your Neighbor Coalition is a partnership of 13 unofficial United Methodist caucus groups "working for a just, inclusive and grace-filled denomination," according to its release.
