Minneapolis Convention Center
Originally proposed as the site of the 2020 General Conference, the Minneapolis Convention Center has been announced as the site for the 2028 General Conference. (Photo by Dan Anderson, courtesy of Meet Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Convention Center.)
We have just adopted a plan for Regionalization which promises to be a catalyst for targeted, faithful action for the UMC. At the same time, the attitude, rhetoric, and policies of the present Administration in the United States make it evident that Minneapolis is NOT a safe place to hold GC 2028. In fact, I firmly believe that we must move the location to ensure the participation and safety of all the delegates. This location needs to be somewhere other than the United States. Knowing the time needed to locate an appropriate location and adequately prepare for a General Conference Session, I strongly urge those making such decisions to begin swiftly to change the location.
