Over the last four decades, the United Methodist Church has been dealing with a disagreement on human sexuality since a discriminating statement was adopted to the “Social Principles” at the 1972 General Conference. By late summer 2016, the Council of Bishops established a Commission on a Way Forward, bringing together a very diverse group of United Methodists from around the world over the course of 18 months to design proposals that would be presented to a Special Session of the General Conference February 23-26, 2019.
As the conference time is closely approaching, we’d like to share the most recent update on the issue and pray together. This coming Sunday, February 3rd please grab a cup of coffee after the worship service and join our conversation in the sanctuary.
