Restructuring Debated by United Methodist Delegates
Nearly 1,000 delegates at the general conference debated a four-board restructuring plan for the United Methodist Church. The proposal would create the Church and Society, Disciple, Global Ministries, and Higher Education and Ministry boards and form a council of ministries with policy powers. The Board of Education resisted, and insights from Dr. Richard Pittenger cautioned against evangelistic programs leading to partial gospel preaching.

Methodist delegates keep Graham remarks in record
United Methodists refused to strike from the conference record remarks critical of Billy Graham. Dr. Richard Pittinger cited Graham as a high priest of a new American folk religion and questioned his comments on rat control in ghettos. Delegates supported Key 73, a pan Christian evangelistic effort, and a second vote to remove the remarks failed. Graham plans a Key 73 crusade in the Raleigh Durham area in spring 1973.
