News from and about the 2012 Western Jurisdictional Conference is available from a number of different sources, such as the Western Jurisdictional Conference Updates page on the California-Pacific Annual Conference site and the Western Jurisdiction's Facebook page (have you "Liked" it yet?).

In the WJC 2012 section of this site, we have published some sermons and addresses from WJC (more will be added), as well as the Pre-Conference Handbook and a page of additional petitions, resolutions, and other documents (which became available after the Handbook was published).

WJC-related stories from the Conferences of the Western Jurisdiction will be posted on the Feature Stores from WJ Conferences page. There are also a lot of impromptu conversations taking place on Twitter, using the hashtag #WJUMC (here's a link to a realtime display of those tweets). The Twitter and Facebook feeds shown below are also updated automatically as long as you leave this page open in your browser. You'll notice some duplication between the two, as we're experimenting with an automated process that publishes some of the tweets to our Facebook page.
