Help is at hand for those following General Conference
Apr. 1, 2004
By United Methodist News Service
Several resources are available to help people understand and keep up
with the work of the United Methodist Church's 2004 General Conference.
The Web site of the General Conference, www.gc2004.org, features news
stories leading up to the assembly and will include daily multimedia
news coverage and video streaming of key events once the conference gets
under way.
The site, administered by United Methodist Communications, also includes
"About General Conference 2004," offering an overview of everything from
logistical details about the assembly to information on key legislation.
People interested in tracking legislation as it goes through the
assembly will be able to do so with the new Online Legislative Tracking
available on the General Conference site.
A free electronic newsletter subscription is also available through the
site. Subscribers will receive news, feature stories and scheduled
online offerings daily by e-mail.
United Methodist News Service will provide Web, video and audio news
coverage daily at the site. Its reports will include stories in Spanish
and Korean, as well as news of interest to Native American and
African-American audiences.
An interactive online course, "Exploring General Conference: What, When,
How" tells how General Conference operates and how it speaks for the
denomination. The self-paced course provides a multimedia, "virtual"
classroom experience that intermingles printed content, audio and video
clips, quizzes, animated learning aids, and a threaded discussion board.
The course is offered through April 28. Cost is $12. Go to
www.training.umcom.org for details.
The denomination's top lawmaking body will meet April 27-May 7 in
Pittsburgh.
