The Global Methodist Church continues to grow its global connection with the addition of four newly received annual conferences: Central Russia, East Russia and Central Asia, Northwest Russia and Belarus, and South Russia.
“These conferences represent faithful communities committed to the mission of the Church,” said Clark Atkins, Chair of the Conferences Commission. “We’re encouraged to see the connection expand and grateful for the relationships that have made this possible.”
Alongside this development, the Global Episcopacy Committee and the Assembly of Bishops have also received Bishop Eduard Khegay into the Assembly of Bishops. Bishop Khegay is currently assigned to three of the four new Eurasian conferences (excluding Central Russia) and also serves the emerging area of Pakistan.
