Conference Highlights

Welcome to the West Ohio Conference's summary of the United Methodist Church General Conference (UMCGC) held in 2019. Here we provide you with a comprehensive overview of the key discussions, decisions, and outcomes from this significant event.

Overview of UMCGC 2019

The UMCGC 2019 brought together delegates from United Methodist conferences worldwide to engage in meaningful dialogue on various issues, particularly focusing on matters of doctrine, church governance, and human sexuality. The event aimed to address the concerns, challenges, and aspirations of the United Methodist Church as a whole.

Key Discussions and Decisions

The Way Forward

One of the major highlights of the UMCGC 2019 was the discussion surrounding "The Way Forward," which focused on finding a resolution to the ongoing debates regarding human sexuality and the inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals within the Church. Delegates engaged in respectful conversations, considering different perspectives and theological interpretations.

After much deliberation, the Traditional Plan was ultimately adopted as the preferred approach. This plan reaffirms the United Methodist Church's position that "the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching." However, it also emphasizes the importance of providing pastoral care and support to LGBTQ+ individuals within the church community.

Task Forces and Future Planning

Alongside the discussions on human sexuality, the UMCGC 2019 focused on task forces and future planning to enhance the overall mission and effectiveness of the United Methodist Church. Several task forces were formed to address key areas such as leadership development, evangelism, social justice, and global ministries.

The conference emphasized the need for increased collaboration and innovative approaches to better serve local congregations, engage youth and young adults, and develop inclusive strategies for growth and outreach.

Outcomes and Next Steps

Implementation of the Traditional Plan

As a result of the discussions and decisions made during the UMCGC 2019, the United Methodist Church will proceed with the implementation of the Traditional Plan. Churches within the West Ohio Conference will work toward aligning their practices and policies with the adopted plan.

Continued Dialogue and Engagement

Although the conference marked a crucial turning point for the future of the United Methodist Church, it is essential to recognize that dialogue and engagement remain ongoing. As we move forward, it is vital to create spaces for open conversations, respect differing viewpoints, and seek unity amidst diversity.
