What are Delegates to General Conference all about?

by Rev. Amy Carlson • Published Tuesday, September 17, 2024

This post is all things related to Delegates to General Conference and the legislative committees they serve. We elected our MidSouth Delegates at the 2024 Annual Conference in June, but maybe you don’t quite understand what it is all about or maybe you simply want to learn more. If so, this is the reading you want to ENGAGE with this evening.

Remember, we are tracing the Methodist Fabric of Connection… from the witness of historical & theological perspectives, to practical items for preparation, & then diving into info so that we can learn & engage with this connection.
