WJ Bishops share pastoral message after historic General Conference

Ten Western Jurisdiction bishops (five active, five retired) share a reflection on the historic results of the postponed 2020 General Conference that recently concluded after meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, from April 23-May 3, 2024.

Grounded in the Biblical story of God’s people returning from the Babylonian diaspora (Ezra 3:10-13), the message honors the long struggle, perseverance, and longing of so many for a United Methodist Church that makes room at the table for all. In celebration for the work accomplish they offer their gratitude to delegates across the church who did their work with a spirit of collaboration and grace, and they call us all to seize this moment to become the Church that loves without limits!
