Follow GC40 Online
We're offering many ways for you to follow the 40th General Council in real time from various perspectives and formats.
Streaming Video
We'll be streaming much of the 40th General Council live: opening worship, speeches from the Moderator nominees, commons, closing worship, and more. Tune in starting Sunday, August 9, to see General Council in action.
Video Clips
We'll be offering several short video clips each day of council. We'll start with a brief introduction to each day's agenda, add short stories about life at council and clips on specific topics of interest, and close with a table discussion wrap-up of the day's events. Follow the News & Views page or Subscribe to Updates to see items as they are posted. We're also offering a YouTube Group where GC participants can share their own video.
Photos
We'll be providing an official photo set from General Council on Flickr. Watch the right sidebar of this site for the latest snapshots. You can also follow our Flickr Group, where those attending council can share their own photos.
