  • The Korean-American Methodists' Response to the UMC Debate Over
    religions Article Loving My New Neighbor: The Korean-American Methodists’ Response to the UMC Debate over LGBTQ Individuals in Everyday Life Jeyoul Choi Department of Religion, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA; [email protected] Abstract: The recent nationwide debate of American Protestant churches over the ordination and consecration of LGBTQ clergymen and laypeople has been largely divisive and destructive. While a few studies have paid attention to individual efforts of congregations to negotiate the heated conflicts as their contribution to the denominational debate, no studies have recounted how post-1965 immigrants, often deemed as “ethnic enclaves apart from larger American society”, respond to this religious issue. Drawing on an ethnographic study of a first-generation Korean Methodist church in the Tampa Bay area, Florida, this article attempts to fill this gap in the literature. In brief, I argue that the Tampa Korean-American Methodists’ continual exposure to the Methodist Church’s larger denominational homosexuality debate and their personal relationships with gay and lesbian friends in everyday life together work to facilitate their gradual tolerance toward sexual minorities as a sign of their accommodation of individualistic and democratic values of American society.

PUB TYPE Historical MatPrials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Black Colleges; Black History; Black Students; *Educational History; Higher Education; Racial Bias; Racial Segregation; School Desegregation; State Colleges; State Legislation; State Universities; Whites IDENTIFIERS *African Americans; Bowie State College MD; Coppin State College MD; *Maryland; Morgan State University MD; University of Maryland Eastern Shore ABSTRACT This paper presents a history of four historically Black colleges in Maryland: Bowie State University, Coppin State College, Morgan State University, and the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore. The history begins with a section on the education of Blacks before 1800, a period in which there is little evidence of formal education for African Americans despite the presence of relatively large numbers of free Blacks thronghout the state. A section on the education of Blacks from 1800 to 1900 describes the first formal education of Blacks, the founding of the first Black Catholic order of nuns, and the beginning of higher education in the state after the Civil War. There follow sections on each of the four historically Black institutions in Maryland covering the founding and development of each, and their responses to social changes in the 1950s and 1960s. A further chapter describes the development and manipulation of the Out of State Scholarship Fund which was established to fund Black students who wished to attend out of state institutions for courses offered at the College Park, Maryland campus and other White campuses from which they were barred.

  • Two Separate Unions Formed One United Church by David Oberlin, 1979
    Two Separate Unions Formed One United Church by David Oberlin, 1979 The United Methodist Church is the product of two recent church mergers – one in 1946, which brought the Evangelical and United Brethren in Christ denominations together to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church (hereafter called the EUB Church); and one in 1968, which combined the EUB and Methodist denominations to form the United Methodist Church. Each merger created a new denomination, altered church organization, and had an impact on its membership. This paper examines these two mergers and their impact on members of affected congregations in Union County, Pennsylvania. Located in a rural setting in central Pennsylvania, Union County includes many small communities and two major towns – Lewisburg with almost 9,000 residents, and Mifflinburg with a population close to 7,000. Within the county are 17 United Methodist churches – three of which are former Methodist, and fourteen of which are former EUB. While the United Brethren in Christ Church was active in central Pennsylvania, all of the former EUB congregations in Union County were originally Evangelical. Each of the former Methodist congregations has its own pastor, and ten of the fourteen former EUB congregations make up three circuits within the county. Because there were no United Brethren in Christ churches in Union County, the 1946 merger did not have much of an impact on the congregations of the county. The 1968 merger, on the other hand, had a large impact in Union County because EUB and Methodist churches were located throughout the county. In Mifflinburg and Lewisburg, for example, the 1968 merger resulted in two United Methodist churches located within a block of each other.

  • Methodists in Search of Unity Amidst Division
    Methodists in Search of Unity amidst Division: Considering the Values and Costs of Unity and Separation in the Face of Two Moral Crises: Slavery and Sexual Orientation [Presented at the Oxford Institute for Methodist Studies, August 2007.] By Bruce W. Robbins [Author’s Note: This paper will undergo revision in the fall of 2007. The revised copy will be posted on the Oxford Institute website when completed.] Introduction For the last decade and more, The United Methodist Church (UMC) has been facing conflict caused by contrasting views of a moral issue: whether or not persons who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender (LGBT)1 should be welcomed as others into the UMC as lay members or as clergy. The debate has been distressing to all in the church , for many because it has prevented debate and action on many of the other issues associated with Christian ministry. During the last four years, the debate has evolved into intense discussion of ecclesiological issues and has led some members to question the value of maintaining unity within the UMC, or to wonder whether it would be better and, perhaps, more faithful to separate into different institutional structures. Nearly two centuries ago, the church faced another major divide over a moral issue- slavery. Alongside many differences between the two historical contexts, there are also similarities that church members faced, similarities that can be seen through the debates and actions within the annual and general conferences of the church. The slavery debates in the 1830s and 40s culminated in several splits in Methodism, the largest of which, in 1844, saw no reunion until ninety-five years had passed.

  • 1 HISTORY of the UNITED METHODIST CHURCH the United
    HISTORY OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH The United Methodist Church was formed in 1968 with the union of the Evangelical United Brethren and the Methodist Church. The Evangelical United Brethren Church, established in 1946, represented the union of two U.S.-born denominations: the Evangelical Church and the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. These two churches originated among German-speaking people during the great spiritual awakening in the late 18th-century colonies. The two fellowships and the Methodist Church were similar, particularly in terms of church polity and evangelistic zeal. Jacob Albright of Eastern Pennsylvania was a lay preacher who gathered followers in the early 1800s. These “Albright people” formed the Evangelical Association, later to become the Evangelical Church. The Rev. Philip Otterbein, ordained by the German Reformed Church, started the United Brethren Movement in the late 1700s. The Methodist movement began in England in the early 1700s, under Anglican clergyman John Wesley and his followers. Wesley did not officially organize a new church but sparked a renewal movement within the Church of England. Nonetheless, Methodism spread from England to Ireland and the colonial United States. Methodist classes and congregations met in the United States from the 1760s. Around Christmas 1784, some 60 ministers gathered in Baltimore and organized the Methodist Episcopal Church, with the word “episcopal” referring to the church’s administration by bishops. The denomination grew rapidly and was known for its circuit rider ministers on the advancing frontiers. With such growth, philosophical differences and division were inevitable. In 1830, a group, largely moved by an insistence on lay representation, separated and became the Methodist Protestant Church.
