Abstract

Caleb Parker, a religious reformer, returned to the United Methodist Church (UMC) after its 2019 General Conference implemented more homophobic rules. Despite many queer individuals leaving the church, Caleb was motivated to take action. He became a lay delegate for the 2024 General Conference and formed the church's first-ever Queer Delegate Caucus. Through strategic thinking, Caleb and his caucus were able to influence the conference's outcome, resulting in a historic vote that overturned the UMC's anti-LGBTQ stance. Caleb's actions inspire others to push for positive change within the church. [Extracted from the article]
