Petition Text: 22428-IC-NonDis-O

The United Methodist Church should establish policies that ensure that publications of the Church, i.e., The Interpreter and the Conference Journal, present responsible competing views on controversial issues. Existing publications of the Church sometimes present articles containing significant liberal bias on controversial topics with political and social implications. Frequently this is done quite subtly. Responsible competing conservative views are seldom, if ever, presented on controversial political and social issues. The Church should be able to express views on controversial issues. However, Church publications should contain responsible articles expressing conservative and liberal views on the issues.
