ABOUT OUR WORK
Our Cal-Pac General/Jurisdictional Conference Delegation is working on several tasks:
- Leading our Annual Conference’s envisioning of a new, inclusive form of Methodism. This includes drafting concrete proposals for our organizational future, including disaffiliation.
- Preparing for the Western Jurisdictional Conference (November 2-5, 2022) in Salt Lake City, Utah. We will participate in the election of at least 3 new bishops for the West. The new episcopal assignments will begin January 1, 2023.
- Preparing for the 2020 General Conference (now postponed to 2024)
In the midst of many uncertainties about how decisions of our General Conference and world events will impact our future, we will communicate about what our priorities and options are. All updates regarding the Jurisdictional and General Conference can be found here and in the CalPac Weekly E-Newsletter.
