The Council of Bishops is hosting a leadership gathering in Calgary, Canada October 20-24, 2026. “This gathering is about faithful leadership for such a time as this. We are being called to reimagine the Church—not to preserve what is familiar but to fulfill God’s calling and vision for our future. We will lean into the Spirit’s leading with boldness and humility, centering Christ in all we do, so that the witness of The United Methodist Church might be renewed, relevant, and rooted in justice, love, and hope," said Bishop Tracy S. Malone, immediate past president of the Council of Bishops.
