Statement from Kenneth H. Carter, Jr., president, Council of Bishops, The United Methodist Church
As a denomination, we are living in the tension between the actions of the Special Session in St. Louis in the winter, the decisions of Annual Conferences in the summer and the prospect of another General Conference in ten months. In the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Council of Bishops this week, we acknowledged the great differences across our many annual conferences, and yet have five shared callings as leaders in this season.
