"A Way Forward" Presentations

 The Commission on a Way Forward was proposed by the Methodist Council of Bishops and approved by the 2016 General Conference to do a complete examination and possible revision of every paragraph of the Book of Discipline concerning human sexuality and explore options that help to maintain and strengthen the unity of the church. 

The Council's work was guided by the desire to strategically help the General Conference move forward while recognizing and affirming that United Methodists hold a wide range of positions regarding issues of human sexuality. The goals of the Commission were:

• To design a way for being the church that maximizes the presence of a United Methodist witness.
• To allow for as much contextual differentiation as possible, given our global realities.
• To create as much unity as possible to achieve our stated mission.

From this work, three plans emerged:
1. The Traditionalist Plan
2. The One Church Plan
3. The Connectional Conference Plan

Wednesday, October 24, at 7p.m.
