(The Christian Post) The United Methodist Church is considering making its denominationwide legislative gathering, already postponed due to COVID-19, a virtual event and allow for online voting.
Scheduled to take place every four years, the UMC General Conference was supposed to have been held earlier this year, but it was delayed until August 2021 due to concerns about the virus.
The UMC Commission on the General Conference announced on Tuesday that they had created a “Technology Study Team” aimed at considering “the possibility of utilizing technology and online voting” next year.
