General Conference Summary: Our United Methodist General Conference wrapped up May 3 with historic decisions on many fronts. The United Methodist Church’s longtime condemnation of homosexuality—which sparked a half-century of conflict—is now no more. The stage is set for a new regional structure for our denomination. The ban on ordination of gay clergy has been lifted. You can find the Minnesota Annual Conference’s summary of these and other major decisions at: https://www.minnesotaumc.org/newsdetail/summary-of-key-decisions-from-the-postponed-2020-general-conference-18356278
