  • Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church 2013 Pre
    Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church 2013 Pre-Conference Journal Dear Member of the Texas Annual Conference, Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome to the 2013 Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church! Our planning team, staff and elected leaders have been working hard to bring you, what I hope you’ll agree is, our best Annual Conference yet. During our 2012 Annual Conference, delegates voted to adopt the Strategic Assessment Team Report that included a commitment to three focus areas of ministry: cultivate growing, fruitful, missional congregations, form transforming lay and clergy leaders, and invest in the young. Our theme for this year’s conference is Invest in the Young but we will also have presentations on the other two focus areas. You’ll be hearing stories from local churches on how they have “lived into” these focus areas and creatively reached out into their communities to “make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Conference will be held this year from May 26 - 29, 2013 at Hilton Americas – Houston, 1600 Lamar St. Houston, Texas 77010. We are very fortunate to present Rev. Kenda Creasy Dean as our keynote speaker. In line with our theme, Invest in the Young, Rev. Dean has extensive experience in ministry to the young including authoring several books on the subject. I am sure you’ll be both enlightened and entertained by her presentations. We are also blessed to have Dr. Jim Bankston of St. Paul’s UMC, Houston preach our Service of Remembrance & Thanksgiving on Monday evening and Rev.

Mainline Christianity in Africa got one of its first woman bishops, Joaquina Filipe Nhanala, who now administers the mission and ministry in Mozambique, which is among the fastest-growing segments of The United Methodist Church. In fact, the denomination’s membership in that nation has more than tripled in size in the last 13 years, to 150,000 members in 170 congregations. Just a few days before, in the United States, two women were among the eight new bishops elected and assigned. Peggy Johnson, former pastor of Christ Church of the Deaf in Baltimore, is now bishop of the denomination’s Philadelphia Area. Elaine Stanovsky, a former district superintendent in Seattle, is assigned as bishop of the Denver Area. With these recent elections, the Council of Bishops now includes 12 active women bishops of the 69 active United Methodist bishops worldwide and Bishop Peggy Johnson blesses 10 retired female bishops of the 85 retired bishops. the communion elements during her consecration service The number of women bishops has steadily at the Northeastern Jurisdictional increased in the 28 years since the first female Conference. She is assigned to bishop, the late Bishop Majorie Swank Matthews lead the Philadelphia Area.

The dissertation employs three major research methodologies by: (1) centralizing the role of social class in the Episcopal Church's history, (2) seriously considering the Episcopal Church's distinctive theology, and (3) quantifying the connections that linked the Episcopal Church to the South's economic structures prior to the Civil War. Archival research, periodicals, and published records related to the Protestant Episcopal Church provided the primary evidence used in the formulation of the dissertation's interpretations and conclusions.

  • RESILIENCE in PASTORS the Hardest Change Is to Change Ourselves
    Singining at hSe Ltorardng’se SLonagnd A CALL FOR RESILIENCE IN UNCERTAIN TIMES BY BISHOP JANICE RIGGLE HUIE | OCTOBER 2018 PROLOGUE I first learned about resilience from my father, a South Texas farmer. When I was about six or seven years old, one of my favorite activities was to be invited by my dad to go out late in the afternoon to check the cows. We were in the worst of the 1950s drought. Everything was dry and brown. Wide cracks revealed deep fissures in the earth. It was as hot as the blue blazes. At that time, Dad rented some land across the road from where we lived. Perhaps as much as a hundred acres was in cultivation. The rest was in brush – thorny, scraggly, parched brush. Probably no more than 30 skinny old cows roamed that pasture looking for anything green; Dad burned prickly pear for them to eat. FROM MY DAD, I LEARNED ABOUT CLARITY OF PURPOSE AND COURAGE. I LEARNED ABOUT TAKING RISKS, FAILING, AND TRYING AGAIN. IN A TOUGH SEASON OF LIFE, I SAW RESILIENCE FACE TO FACE. The rule for going with Dad was “Be still and be quiet.” If you didn’t follow the rule, you didn’t get asked again. Of course, the pickup wasn’t air conditioned, so the windows were rolled down to catch the afternoon gulf breezes. 2 One afternoon we were there in the pasture – sitting and looking. Dad asked me, “Janice, what do you see?” It seemed obvious. I said I saw brush – black brush, bee brush, cat claw, mesquite, huisache.

Volume 37 The people of The United Methodist Church® Number 5 Hundreds of Hoosiers support Darfurians in State House rally Governor signs Sudan Divestment bill into law Story and photos by Daniel R. Gangler INDIANAPOLIS – In the quiet of his State House office, Governor Mitch Daniels signed the Sudan Divestment bill into law the afternoon of May 3, bringing an end to a four-month quest of hundreds of Hoosiers led by Beth Reilly, a member of Alder- sgate United Methodist Church in Fort Wayne, the Rev. Darren Cushman Wood of Speedway and a handful of interfaith leaders to help end the witnessed genocide in Darfur, a region of Sudan under siege by the current government based in Khartoum. A public signing of the bill will come probably later this month after Daniels trip to Europe, according to his staff. Reilly said both Chambers of the Indiana Gener- al Assembly considered the final conference report for the bill on April 26. After the Senate unanimously voted in favor the bill, the House came back into session and also debated the bill. Rep. Cindy Noe of Indianapolis, one of the bill’s sponsors, reminded lawmakers, “the situation in Dar- fur continues to deteriorate and Indiana can send a strong message to Sudan by divesting from targeted companies supplying money to the government.” The House again gave unanimous support for di- vestment. More than 800 activists jammed the north atrium of the State House April 15 in Indianapolis supporting Darfurians living under Overwhelming support for the Sudan Divestment the oppression of the Sudanese government.
