Emerging is a forum sponsored by the Connectional Table for fostering open-ended conversation about what is emerging in Methodism. By creating a web-based dialogue, we hope to engage United Methodists with diverse perspectives from across our worldwide connection in thinking deeply about what is emerging in the life of our connection.
In interview, Bishop Thomas J. Bickerton, New York Episcopal Area, discusses the possibilities for holding General Conference virtually in 2021.
Despite the diversity of cultures and values within the Latinx community, engaging in the act of fiesta enables us to resist and become resilient in the face of evil and oppression.
MoreDr. Thomas J. Pace examines what it takes to lead a truly counter-cultural diverse and inclusive church that proclaims God's loves for everyone, no matter their ideology or identity.
MoreThe purpose of the Connectional Table (CT) is to discern and articulate the vision for the church and to steward the mission, ministries, and resources of The United Methodist Church as determined by the actions of General Conference. The CT works in consultation with the Council of Bishops.
"As part of the total mission of the church, the CT is to serve as a steward of the vision and resources for mission and ministry, provide fiscal responsibility, and establish policies and procedures to carry out the mission of the church” (BOD, ¶904).
Our work is vision-directed and mission-focused. It aligns with our vision of a church that remains worldwide and contextual, vital and effective, affirming and inclusive, and connectional. Our work has as its central focus the mission of The United Methodist Church to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
A key culture shift for The United Methodist Church is the shift from a U.S.-centered
denomination to one that is more fully worldwide.
