Who We Are

UMC anti-LGBTQ+ policies eliminated

History is made!

This historic General Conference has voted to eliminate explicitly anti-LGBTQ+ discriminatory language and policy from our Book of Discipline. We’ll share more about what that means after General Conference. In the meantime, read about the UM Queer Collaborative that helped move us closer to this moment.
