Episode 162: UNITED METHODIST CHURCH UPDATE

Today we are joined by Rev. DeAndre Johnson and Pastor Lindsay Kirkpatrick to discuss some changes that are taking place in The United Methodist Church. John Stephens served as a delegate to the United Methodist Church’s General Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. The two-week long process uses the first week to divide into 14 different legislative committees connected to every part of the Book of Discipline, UMC church law and polity. Over 1,100 petitions were submitted and worked on in the legislative committees. The delegates of General Conference are from around the world - USA, Philippines, Europe, Eurasia, and Africa. In the legislative committees, the groups of 40-80 members discuss and debate every petition. Once that work is done, all their actions come to the main body of almost 800 members in week two for all of us to either approve the work they've done, reject it, or amend it.   Today we discuss all of UMC news and much more!
