Karl’s Kommentary: "So, What is General Conference?"
“General Conference is the highest legislative body in The United Methodist Church. It usually convenes once every four years to determine the denomination’s future direction. Between 600 and 1000 delegates are elected by their annual conferences—half clergy and half laity, and up to 10 delegates are sent by Methodist denominations with whom The United Methodist Church has a concordant (agreement). At General Conference, these delegates gather from all over the world to consider revisions to church law and the official ritual of the church, adopt resolutions on current moral, social, public policy and economic issues, and elect officers for a number of churchwide positions. The General Conference also approves plans and budgets for church-wide programs for the next four years.”
May God guide us in all that we do! And may we always, “Make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world!”
