During their annual meeting, members of Black Methodists for Church Renewal looked toward future advocacy work, while also discussing denominational concerns, including budget cuts, disaffiliations, a more regionalized global church structure and the coming General Conference.
The Rev. Forbes Matonga writes that many African delegates will advocate against regionalization of The United Methodist Church, despite reports from the recent United Methodist Africa Forum gathering in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
The Rev. Lovett H. Weems Jr. argues that those committed to another denomination should not try to influence decision-making at the upcoming United Methodist General Conference. He also says The United Methodist Church should follow John Wesley’s example of striving for unity, even where there’s disagreement on important matters.
