The meeting in Southern California comes less than a month after the publication of a bomb report alleging that dogma leaders had filed reports of sexual abuse and resisted reform proposals. The delegates will also elect a new president – a decision that will shape how the dogma becomes involved in national politics and how it handles the abuse scandal that has rocked its members. “This is going to be one of the most historic and important conferences in the history of the convention,” said Jared Wellman, a pastor in Texas, Monday, hours after he was elected chairman of the convention’s executive committee, which helps with operations and finances....

His close associates say he is likely being transferred to another prison. In Russia, prison transfers can take days, if not weeks, and are shrouded in secrecy. “All this time we do not know where Alexei is, he is left alone with the system that has already tried to kill him once,” Navalny’s spokeswoman Keira Yarmis told social media.
