United Methodists from around the world met in Portland last week to learn about issues that will come up at this May's General Conference of The United Methodist Church. The three-day Pre-General Conference Briefing, sponsored by United Methodist Communications, was intended as a chance for delegates and others to receive information about General Conference-related matters, not as a time for United Methodists to engage in debate and discussion of those matters.
While many have and will write about this event, here are a collection of stories from the United Methodist News Service and independent United Methodist news sources UM Insight and UM Reporter. For additional information, search #umcgc on Twitter or review the Twitter feed for UM & Global.
