| Rev. Youngsook Kang Attends as Delegate! | |
| Nearly 1000 delegates from 118 annual conferences attended the United Methodist Church (UMC) 2000 General Conference, May 1-13, in Cleveland, Ohio. Sixty-six of the 118 annual conferences are from the United States, 17 from Africa, 18 from Europe, and 17 from the Philippines. The primary business of the $3.3 million General Conference was to process petitions filed by individuals, churches, conferences, and agencies. These petitions were debated and amended by ten legislative committees including Finance Administration, Higher Education and Ministry, General/Judicial Administration, Faith and Order, Church and Society, Conferences, Independent Commissions, and Global Ministries. Delegates made decision on many petitions including the 2001-2004 budget for the whole United Methodist Church, a new apportionment formula, membership, Connectional Process Team Proposal, various national plans on ethnic ministries, the homosexuality issue, and others. |
