Methodist Conference comes to Wolverhampton

The Methodist Conference will meet in Wolverhampton this July. The Conference is the governing body of the Methodist Church as well as a festival of celebration, worship and friendship.

More than 300 representatives from across British Methodism will gather at the Civic Hall from July 2 to 9, as well as hundreds of visitors.

New Methodist ministers will be ordained in a two-part ceremony and then at services across the Midlands.

The Conference will also celebrate new President, the Rev David Gamble, and Vice-President, Dr Richard Vautrey, at the start of their year in office.

The ceremonial swearing-in of President and Vice-President will open the main Conference on the afternoon of July 4.

On the Conference agenda are debates on climate change, young people and leadership and ethical investment.
