The Methodist Conference will head north of the border for the first time this year when it takes place at the Edinburgh Conference Centre at the city’s Heriot-Watt University from June 24th to 29th.
The ruling body of the Church will come together for the five-day meeting to set the rules and policy and explore key issues for the Church.
The 384 voting members of the Conference will be joined by thousands of visitors for the event that will see the induction of the new President of the Methodist Conference, the Rev Graham Carter, and the new Vice President, Mr Dudley Coates.
Conference Sunday will also see about 60 new Methodist presbyters and deacons received into full connexion and ordained at services around Edinburgh and Lothian.
