CG 2016: "Other business"
At GC 2012 in Tampa
The big pieces of legislation that will come before the General Conference
of the The United Methodist Church, May 10-20, 2016, will get the
lion’s share of the attention. Much discussion will be generated around
things like human sexuality, organizational changes to church structure,
abortion, the ordination process, and more. Some far simpler petitions,
which will receive little press, are also important to the legislative work of the delegates.
Because General Conference is the only legislative body that can make changes to The Book of Discipline
and set policy for The United Methodist Church, even seemingly small
details need approval. Sometimes that means an editorial change to a
single word.
