MFSA at General Conference
Methodist Federation for Social Action (MFSA) believes in the connection of the United Methodist Church and is committed to working toward a more justice-filled, inclusive, and equitable denomination at the upcoming General Conference. We are working in coalition across our denomination to move our legislative priorities forward.
MFSA Legislative Priorities the 3 Rs:
- Regionalization
- Removal of the Discriminatory language
- Revised Social Principles
This upcoming General Conference is a regular session and will also work through over 1,000 petitions and resolutions. All of which will make an impact on our church and consist of multiple topics and intersectional issues that we all care about deeply.
MFSA has created Plumblines in coalition with our partners as a resource for General Conference. Plumblines are legislative position papers that focus on multiple issues/legislative priorities that are important to us, share values, an analysis of the legislation, resources for further study, and recommended action. We offer this as a gift to the church and hope it serves as a resource as delegates prepare for GC, are in conversation with their delegations, and as a quick guide on site at GC. We will continue to release more Plumblines as they are completed. Please share them widely across the United Methodist Church and with your General Conference delegates.
