European Delegates to General Conference Meet in Kiev

This is a hectic week for us, as all the European delegates going to the United Methodist Church General Conference are meeting in Kiev this week for a preparatory "pre-conference". At the conference, the delegates will learn how General Conference is run and how delegates will need to participate in the various legislative committees. For those of you who don't know what General Conference is, here is a link which will explain it, but in short, General Conference is the top policy-making body of The United Methodist Church which meets every four years. I, Bill, was elected as an alternate clergy delegate from Ukraine and will now go to GC since the delegate elected, Alexander Merzlikov, cannot attend due to health reasons. Next post will have pictures from our meeting!
