“Do not remember the former things ... Behold I am doing a new thing!”
On July 1, 2010, two new annual conferences will be born in the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference. At the same time, the New England Annual Conference will expand and five other annual conferences will become a part of United Methodist Church history.
Churches in the New York State portions of the Troy Annual Conference and the Wyoming Annual Conference will join with those of the North Central New York Annual Conference and the Western New York Annual Conference to be come one. Bishop Marcus Matthews will be the episcopal leader of this new body, encompassing the Upper New York Episcopal Area.
Congregations of the Central Pennsylvania Annual Conference will join with those of the Wyoming Annual Conference located in the commonwealth to create what is likely to be known as the Susquehanna Annual Conference. It will make up the Harrisburg Episcopal Area under the leadership of Bishop Jane Allen Middleton.
Churches in Vermont, now part of the Troy Annual Conference will become part of the New England Annual Conference.
