The 2020/2024 Book of Resolutions has been restructured to align with the Revised Social Principles approved by the 2024 General Conference. This series explores the new and significantly revised resolutions within it, section by section.
Part 1: Community of All Creation
The title and the framing of this section are new, more in keeping with the ways of thinking of the many African and indigenous peoples within The United States rather than the Western worldview, spread by imperialism and colonization, that separates the natural world from the human-manufactured world. Four new resolutions are included in this section.
READ STORY Part 2: The Economic Community
Two of the resolutions in this section were amended to reflect changes that have occurred since 2016. While the changes are small, they are significant.
READ STORY Part 3: The Social Community
"The Social Community" includes 22 new resolutions. These represent an expansion of the church's social witness and a deepening awareness of its diversity and, in several cases, its worldwide nature.
