United Methodist Leaders Gather in Baltimore for Inaugural Faith-Based Organizing Training?
From October 1–3, United Methodist leaders from across the United States gathered in Baltimore for the first-ever National Faith-Based Grassroots Organizing Gathering—a denomination-wide, spiritually grounded training designed to equip leaders for justice work rooted in the Gospel and the Social Principles of The United Methodist Church. This inaugural event was co-hosted by the General Board of Church and Society (GBCS), in partnership with United Women in Faith, the Organizing For Mission network, the Baltimore-Washington Conference Advocacy and Action Team, and the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference. Through a selective application process, over two dozen faith leaders from across the country were chosen to participate in this intensive, faith-rooted experience.?Read more about the gathering at https://www.umcjustice.org/latest/united-methodist-leaders-gather-in-baltimore-for-inaugural-faith-based-organizing-training-7732.
