The 2016 General Conference of the United Methodist Church will be held on May 10-20, 2016 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. The General Conference is the top legislative body of The United Methodist Church and meets once every four years to review and revise the doctrines and policies of the denomination. Through a bit of magic we are trying to compile all the posts related to the General Conference here for your review.
