1968 Uniting Conference of The United Methodist Church

http://www.umc.org/videos. Celebrate #UMC50 with a video flashback to General Conference in Dallas, Texas, where The United Methodist Church was formed. On April 23, 1968, the 10.3 million-member Methodist Church and the 750,000-member Evangelical United Brethren Church merged. In uniting, the church also ended the segregation of African-American congregations into a separate Central Jurisdiction. More at umc.org/umc50.
