Delegates to Mennonite Church USA's Convention 2009 broke ground with a new resolution on human trafficking and reinforced earlier actions with two other resolutions: one related to healthcare access and one addressing conflict in the church.

The latter, which drew the most debate, is a new resolution calling for additional help with dialogue around our human sexuality statements. It was written by the resolutions committee.
