Due to the continuing challenging times from the COVID-19 Pandemic, the 22nd Conference of the World Methodist Council was further postponed. At the two-day virtual meeting of the Steering Committee in August, it was unanimously agreed that the global WMC family from around the world could not safely gather in Gothenburg, Sweden in August of 2022.
President J.C. Park announces that a new date for the Conference will be set in the Spring of 2022. WMC Program Chair Rev. Dr. Martyn Atkins and members of the host committee including Bishop Christian Alstead, Uniting Church President Lasse Svensson and others were consulted. Everyone agreed that a more meaningful Conference could be held at a later date.
"On the Move" will continue to be the theme, and the issues of Migration, Justice and Hospitality are evident to be more pertinent now than when the theme was initially chosen. More information on the Conference will be published as available.
