On May 1, 2024, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church struck down a 40-year-old ban on gay clergy without any debate. The vote on the consent calendar was 692-51, with approval at 93%. Delegates and observers applauded after the vote. Delegates also voted that superintendents are not to penalize clergy or churches for holding — or refraining from holding — same-sex weddings. Another change that was approved encourages the Council of Bishops to consider gender, race, ethnicity, age, people with disabilities, sexual orientation, and economic condition when naming representatives to ecumenical organizations. More work is still to be done by the General Conference as it relates to the removal of harmful language in The United Methodist Church's Book of Discipline, but this is a historic day in The United Methodist Church. Please continue to be a prayer for the church, the General Conference, and all of our delegates.

How may we describe United Methodists? Where do we come from? What do we believe? How do United Methodists act? What are our distinctive characteristics? What is required to be a member of our denomination? How do we grow as disciples of Jesus Christ within this great communion? In this study we hope to answer these questions and others in broad strokes as we describe our United Methodist Church. We will consider to how United Methodists live and think as followers of Jesus Christ. The United Methodist Church possesses the characteristics of many other Christian traditions but has its own distinctive profile. Our denomination combines knowledge and vital piety, believing that serious theological reflection and spiritual practices are both part of the Christian life. United Methodists link personal and social holiness, expecting high personal integrity and deep concern for social justice. We are both evangelical and sacramental, showing concern for people who have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and honoring the transforming power of Baptism and Holy Communion. We welcome people with many different theological perspectives. Finally, United Methodists are both local and connectional, expressing our faith in local congregations, regional associations, and global missions, so that we might do more together than any of us could do separately.
