This webcast from the United Methodist Communication Service in Nashville, Tennessee, involved members of the Church from every corner of the Connection. The event hosts mentioned at one point that there were more than 1,000 sites where groups of United Methodists had logged-in to participate. One location, in Zimbabwe, had over 300 in attendance!
"The Summit’s purpose is to call together for prayer, discernment and holy conversation a cross-section of leaders invited by the resident bishop and including lay leadership, cabinets, and representative pastors. The Summit will provide shared experience for engaging information and ideas about key initiatives to foster compelling alignment and generate forward momentum for the regeneration of The United Methodist Church.
The Leadership Summit is a venue for leaders to hear first-hand how the Council of Bishops is helping the church clarify and affirm God’s leading through the vision, values and culture of the United Methodist Church. The Council of Bishops and Connectional Table will share how they are blending the findings and constructive work of multiple groups involved in strategic review and planning in behalf of the mission of the UMC, and urging participants to take part in shaping and leading a comprehensive plan of action." - from the event description material
