UMC Process
|
Throughout its history in America, the Methodist Church has
been marked by differing thoughts which have resulted in separations as well as
unifications more frequently than probably most of us realize. This has been
the result of well-intentioned peoples seeking to govern a church body that is
vibrant and growing. Over the years, some of the differing opinions have been
in regards to slavery, women’s’ rights, morality, spirituality, and church
governance. Differences have existed before and will in the future. Each
person and congregation must work to seek God and pursue His Word and Truth to
make their way through these changes. What we as Methodists are navigating now
is not unlike things we have encountered before.
To help you in your research, reflection, and discernment,
here is a list of additional resources pertaining to the history of Methodism
in America.
