Radicle Methodism

Radicle Methodism is a free online history course from the General Commission on Archives and History that takes a deep dive into our roots and how we became The UMC today.

Welcome to Radicle Methodism. For those of you with green thumbs, you may see the word “radicle” and know that it refers to a foundational part of a plant. The rest of you may think you’ve spotted a typo. In this free online video history course, we talk about root systems and what that has to do with Methodism and, especially, what it means to be United Methodist.  

As we journey together through these radicle moments, it is our hope that your are reminded of what it means to be United Methodist, to follow in our founders' footsteps and to be in connection with one another.

Sign up at the UM History Hub (below) to follow the radicle of Methodism through its becoming entangled with the dirt and nutrients of its surrounding soil. Then follow the roots as they spread and the leaves and branches as they emerge through the ground across the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st century.
