Sarah Wilke, publisher of he Upper Room, shared a meditation about a man named Christian during the worship service on Wednesday morning, April 25, 2012. It began the day for the delegates to the General Conference of the United Methodist Church, meeting in Tampa, Florida.
As a new United Methodist, the Rev. Stephen Mannion is amazed by the current level of discord and advises adhering to the laws that define the denomination.
U.S. conferences are calculating how much a church must pay if it leaves under legislation approved by General Conference 2019. The big cost will be pensions.
