CHICAGO — At its final meeting of the quadrennium, the board of directors of the General Board of Church and Society (GBCS) introduced the Revised Social Principles to entire church.
The document is now pending approval of the 2020 General Conference.
“Today is the culmination of an eight-year journey that began when the 2012 General Conference first called the General Board of Church and Society to revise the Social Principles to become more globally relevant, theologically sound, and more succinct,” said Bishop Sally Dyck, resident Bishop of the Chicago Episcopal Area and President of the board of directors. “Church and Society faithfully stewarded the process, fulfilling the mandate of the General Conference.”
The document is available to in seven languages for the whole church to read and discuss here.
