  • Step up to Leadership at General Conference
    The United Methodist Church: Governance and Structure GOVERNANCE United Methodists are sometimes asked where their church is headquartered, or what officer is “in charge.” Deliberately, The United Methodist Church has no single central office, no archbishop, no pope. This reflects the representative nature of the church's organization – which also provides a system of checks and balances. The church created a system that in some ways parallels that of the U.S. government when it came to America. The church has a General Conference, its legislative branch; a Council of Bishops, somewhat like an executive branch; and a nine-member Judicial Council, the judicial branch. It’s helpful to recognize the structure of the church, but it is the mission, ministry and love of God through Jesus Christ that is of primary importance. GENERAL CONFERENCE Who makes decisions for The United Methodist Church if there is no one person in charge? Good question. The only body that can set official policy and speak for the denomination is the General Conference. The General Conference is an international body of nearly 1,000 delegates that meets every four years. The delegates are elected by annual conferences (at annual conference sessions) to attend General Conference. They represent all annual conferences around the world. Half of the delegates are laity (non-clergy members), half are clergy. Bishops attend the General Conference but cannot vote. Different bishops serve as presiding officers during the conference. Other bishops cannot speak unless permission is specifically granted by the delegates. During General Conference, delegates discuss and vote on petitions and resolutions proposed by individuals, agencies, annual conferences, and other groups within the denomination.

The primary research question is defined as: “To what extent do the dialogues under analysis relate to Arminian soteriology?” By seeking an answer to this question, new knowledge is sought on the current soteriological position of the Methodist-Lutheran dialogues, the contemporary Methodist theology and the commonalities between the Lutheran and Arminian understanding of soteriology. This way the soteriological picture of the Methodist-Lutheran discussions is clarified. The dialogues under analysis were selected on the basis of versatility. Firstly, the sole world organisation level dialogue was chosen: The Church – Community of Grace. Additionally, the document World Methodist Council and the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is analysed as a supporting document. Secondly, a document concerning the discussions between two main-line churches in the United States of America was selected: Confessing Our Faith Together.

  • Current Structure of the United Methodist Church
    Current Structure of the United Methodist Church 3 Branches of Government 1. Legislative—Conference 2. Executive—Bishops 3. Judicial—Judicial Council Legislative • The Conference: The global United Methodist Church (UMC) is divided into conferences and regions for connection and accountability • The General Conference: is the official governing body of the UMC, akin to our nation’s congress. Regions around the world send elected delegates, equal number clergy and laity, to the session of General Conference, held every four years. The General Conference debates and votes upon petitions and resolutions seeking changes to our governing document, the Book of Discipline. o The Book of Discipline: consists of several different types of legislation. The constitution of the UMC can only be changed by a vote of General Conference and 2/3 ratification of all Annual Conferences globally. The Social Principles are ongoing discussions on our stance as a denomination on social issues, and it is very comprehensive. The articles of religion are our statement of core beliefs. And there are many pages detailing the administrative life of the church. o Special Session of General Conference: In February of 2019, a special session of General Conference has been called to specifically deal with the current division in our denomination on issues of theology, that have been manifested in our division on inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community. No other topic may be discussed or voted upon at the special session. • The Jurisdictional Conference: exists only with the UMC of the United States. The US UMC is divided up regionally: ▪ Northeastern (our jurisdiction) ▪ Southeastern ▪ North Central ▪ South Central ▪ Western o The Jurisdictional Conference is also made up of elected delegates, clergy and laity, from the Annual Conferences within the jurisdiction.
