‘TOWN HALL” TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF

THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

For over 40 years, there have been debates in the highest levels of the united Methodist Church over the issue of human sexuality, in particular how we should view homosexuality, gay marriage, and the ordination of gay persons. In 2016, the General Conference (Methodism’s highest legislative body) appointed a Commission on the Way Forward to develop a plan to submit to a special General Conference on February 23-26, 2019, in St. Louis.

On Sunday, September 16, at 3:00 p.m. in Roebuck Chapel , Revs. Bud Reeves and Dane Womack will present the proposals of the Commission, the current state of the debate, and what might happen at General Conference in February.

Come hear what the future may hold for our beloved denomination.
