Bishops Push Amusement Clause at Methodist General Conference

At the Baltimore gathering Bishop Goodsell urged striking worded limits on amusements from Paragraph 248 while affirming opposition to liquor. The episcopal address highlights church growth with 278,357 new communicants in four years and a total U S membership of 8 058 000, alongside property value gains and ongoing calls for church-led social reforms and labor union engagement. The conference also backs the Littlefield liquor shipment bill and outlines ministry support, appointments, and finance plans.
