All that General Conference passed

When General Conference opened April 23, the lawmaking body of more than 750 United Methodists from around the globe had 1,099 petitions to consider.

By the assembly’s closing worship on May 3, the delegates had voted to support more than 500 pieces of legislation — setting a new course for The United Methodist Church. Some legislation took effect immediately.

To give readers a sense of the scope of what passed, United Methodist News has assembled a chart of all the petitions that the delegates moved forward. The chart includes each piece of legislation’s calendar item (basically the number assigned to it for consideration on the floor), a brief summary of what it does, the final vote tally and when it takes effect. Where possible, the summaries link to UM News articles or other websites where readers can gain more information on the legislation.
