Seminary Students Program at General Conference

A daily line-up of speakers has been organized for seminary students who plan to attend the 2012 General Conference as part of their studies. The United Methodist Church’s top legislative assembly will meet April 24-May 4 in Tampa, Fla. at the Tampa Convention Center.

Program speakers include General Conference leaders, denominational leaders and caucus group representatives. Students will have the opportunity to experience the theological diversity of the denomination and gain perspectives on legislation.

“I attended the 1988 General Conference as part of a polity class on the General Conference,” shares the Rev. Alan J. Morrison, business manager of the General Conference. “That experience was fundamental to my being where I am today. We are seeking to give students a fairly broad breadth of the General Conference experience.”
