Worship

Grace doesn’t grab: Why consent belongs in worship

Evangelism

A United Methodist team talks with community members in Ankilimidega, Madagascar, during an evangelism campaign led by the church. The evangelists met with the traditional chief and other leaders during the mission, which was supported by a grant from the United Methodist Board of Global Ministries.
