It is important to remember that we are not the first followers of Jesus to face a government hostile to their values.

On October 16, 2024, WMJM presented a webinar on the constitutional amendments for The United Methodist Church.

A panel of Agency Representatives, and content specialists discussed where The United Methodist Church goes next on the constitutional amendments passed at the 2020 (a.k.a. 2024) General Conference session.

To help you, your church, and your conference prepare, WMJM is hosting a web event to help people understand the voting process, who can vote on ratification, how the votes are counted, how this conversation is happening around the globe, and how you can have an impact, even if you are not a voting member of your annual conference.

WMJM gathered together in Spokane Washington before the Western Jurisdictional Conference. You can now view videos of the day’s programming.

Since its inception, UMAF has expressed its position that African United Methodist Churches should stay as part of a Unified United Methodist Church.

United Methodists in UMKR, like so many throughout our church, are weeping for the people of the Holy Land. We decry the indiscriminate attacks on all civilians, both Israelis and Palestinians. We mourn with those who are grieving for the dead, we suffer for those who are injured, starving, or living in fear today, and we seek the safe release of all the political captives held by both the state of Israel and Hamas.

Christian Nationalism is a troubling ideology that seeks to merge Christian and American identities. It distorts both the Christian faith and America’s constitutional democracy.

Guests from Western Methodist Justice Movement and other groups share their reflections on attending the United Methodist Africa Forum meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa in April of 2023.

The members of the group came from most of the annual conferences in Africa. Many of those who attended were meeting each other for the first time. They were clergy and lay people with different language and culture backgrounds, although they were all good at conversations in English, and there were a variety of theological viewpoints. What united them was the desire to remain in the United Methodist Church. “We were, we are, and we will be United Methodist” was a reoccurring refrain throughout the meeting.
