Early Sunday morning, I take off to attend the annual meeting of Association of Directors of Connectional Ministry (ADCM) in San Antonio Texas. Among the work we will be doing together, listening to Adam Hamilton and other great speaker, we will be hearing from the Connectional Table about proposed changes in the United Methodist Church:
The seven recommendations of the proposal include:
1. developing metrics for effectiveness and accountability across the church
2. rebuilding a leadership development system with special attention to young people;
3. eliminating the guaranteed appointment;
4. recasting the quadrennial General Conference;
5. reordering the life of the church;
6. establishing a “global office” or central organizing center for coordination and efficiency; and
7. constructing a viable financial future.
