Moderators offer views on Mission, Vision and Scope of Commission on a Way Forward

WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 31, 2017) – The moderators of the Commission on a Way Forward are using a three-part commentary this summer in helping United Methodists throughout the world to understand work of the Commission. 

The commentary will deal with the mission, vision and scope of the Commission, which was named by the Council of Bishops after the 2016 General Conference to assist the bishops in discerning a way forward for The United Methodist Church regarding human sexuality and the resulting questions about the unity of the church.
