General Conference has many important aspects as delegates gather from around the world starting April 23 in Charlotte, North Carolina. This video features a more in-depth discussion on several key issues:

• Repeal of restrictive languages from the Book of Discipline.
• Regionalization in The United Methodist Church.
• Revision of the Social Principles.

Other issues include the budget and whether to extend the process for disaffiliation from the denomination for local congregations.

Our panel includes five delegates to General Conference — Rev. Amy Lippoldt, Scott Brewer, Lisa Maupin, Rev. David Livingston, and Rev. Dr. Kalaba Chali.
