About 50 people attended a regional meeting at East Washington UB church in Ashley, Mich., on Monday, April 8. This was the last of four meetings held to review proposals which will be presented to the US National Conference this summer. Attendees came from various UB churches in Michigan, along with four persons from the national office.
The meeting began at 9:30 and ended after a lunch provided by the East Washington church. It included:
- An opening devotional from Todd Fetters, Director of National Ministries.
- An update on ministerial education and licensing issues from Gary Gates, Director of Ministerial Licenses.
- An update on the work of Global Ministries from Jeff Bleijerveld, Director of Global Ministries.
- A review by Bishop Phil Whipple of the proposals for revising the Discipline (our “manual of operations,” so to speak, which can only be amended by the National Conference). Everyone had a copy of the proposals. The Bishop walked through them and invited discussion.
