Annual Conference Edition - May 25, 2011
The annual State of the Church address, delivered by Bishop John R. Schol, will be streamed live on the
Baltimore-Washington Conference website Thursday, May 26, at 2 p.m. Viewers can engage in holy
conferencing with others in the conference via a live Facebook chat on the streaming page.
Additionally, attendees are encouraged to tweet about events using the official hashtag, #bwcumc2011.
A collection of conference tweets are visible on the
main conference page.
The bishop’s address will examine the challenges, accomplishments and possibilities facing area
United Methodist churches. It will be delivered before an audience of more than 1,500 clergy and
lay members and guests at the Waterfront Marriott Hotel in Baltimore, where the 227th session
of the Baltimore-Washington Conference will be held this Thursday through Saturday.
The theme of the conference is “Connect as One.” As part of the worship experience, artisans
will be illustrating that theme by creating a quilt during the session. Everyone attending the
annual conference is invited to bring an 18 by 21-inch piece of brown, orange, green and y
ellow fabric to be included in the quilt.
