In response to the 2022 annual conference petition that was approved by the membership (page 145, Call for Vital Relational Conversations Among the Leadership and Churches of the Mississippi Annual Conference), the Mississippi Conference Delegation hosted a webinar entitled, “Important Connection Conversations in the Mississippi Annual Conference.”
The webinar, hosted by Rev. Fred Britton, head of the delegation expands on the following:
Rev. Lisa Garvin will share the hopes of those who would like to change The Discipline to be a fully inclusive UMC denomination.
Rev. Stephen Sparks will share the hopes of those that would like The UMC to remain a traditional denomination.
Rev. Dr. Embra Jackson will share the hopes of those who advocate for unity and not separation.
David Stotts will lead an overview of the disaffiliation process.
Rev. Trey Harper will present on the related effects of clergy who choose to leave The United Methodist Church.
