Resolutions

Community of Christ’s next World Conference will be held 22-29 April, 2023. The theme is “Courage”.

On 08/16/22 the Resolutions for Conference were released publicly. There are 15 pieces of legislation that we will be discussing at Conference. I believe that it is my responsibility as a church member to be fully educated on these Resolutions and the impact they may have.

I have talked to a number of folks about these Resolutions, and have decided to write down commentaries for each one. These will be updated periodically to reflect my most up-to-date opinion.
