There has been much discussion about the reorganization of The United Methodist Church at General Conference 2012 with plans from various constituencies.
I believe that Plan UMC is the best starting point for a way forward for the denomination. You can find out more about this restructuring plan at http://www.planumc.org
Plan UMC:
- is the only restructure plan that emerged at General Conference after the response of delegates in #Gen Admin Committee
- preserves and strengthens the role of #gcorr and #cosrow in the Committee on Inclusivity #gc2012
- is a way forward that will provide greater clarity, organization and direction for our boards and agencies #gc2012
- will focus on creating vital congregations which incarnate the work of all the boards and agencies in a local context.
- puts the denomination at the edge of its comfort zone – a place where progress is most likely to occur.
Regardless of what restructuring plan does or does not pass at General Conference, I am hopeful for the future of The United Methodist Church. I am looking forward to continuing our mission together to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Andrew, in the interest of fairness, may I reprint this article on UM Insight, um-insight.net, to balance our reprint of Jeremy Smith’s post? Thanks!
