Petition Text: 22291-GM-NonDis-O

Whereas, the Holy Boldness National Urban Ministry Plan was developed by more than 1,000 United Methodists representing urban, suburban, and rural communities, congregations, as well as annual conferences and national leadership. The plan sets forth a vision, goal areas, and outcomes to organize and resource congregations and church-based community organizations for transforming urban congregations and communities through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Whereas, the Holy Boldness Plan is a grassroots movement that will empower congregations and church-based organizations to develop local strategies for urban ministry within present structures and existing resources to leverage new opportunities for urban ministry. The plan is to be overseen by the General Board of Global Ministries, Urban Ministries Division.

Therefore, be it resolved, that the 1996 General Conference adopt "Holy Boldness, a Plan for Urban Ministry."
