Polity, Practice, and the Mission of the United Methodist Church: Updated Edition

Thomas Edward Frank

0/5 ( ratings)

This in-depth analysis of the connection between United Methodist polity and theology addresses ways in which historical developments have shaped--and continue to shape--the organization of the church.

This revised edition incorporates the actions of The United Methodist General Conference, 2000. The book discusses continuing reforms of the church's plan for baptism and church membership, as well as the emergence of deacon's orders and other changes to ordained ministry procedures. The text is now cross-referenced to the Book of Discipline, 2000, including the revised order of disciplinary chapters and paragraph numbering. Denominational statistics are updated, along with references to recent works on The United Methodist Church and American religious life.

Commissioned by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry for use in United Methodist doctrine/polity/history courses.
