Editorial Review Product Description An indispensable guide for all United Methodists-especially pastors, lay leaders, church council members, confirmation and new member candidates and their instructors, and seminarians-this book is presented in a practical, down-to-earth manner for easy use by both individuals and classes, clergy and lay. It highlights the functions and connectional relationships within the organization, beginning with the local church and continuing through connectional organs in districts, annual conferences and their agencies, jurisdictional conferences and their agencies, the General Conference, the general agencies of the Church, and the Judicial Council. Bishop Tuell discusses the Church's unique polity and gives a frank assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. At the same time he paints the image of a worldwide connectional communion that is organized to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and to bear witness to its Wesleyan heritage. |

list price: US$17.00 -- used & new: US$10.16 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0687335264 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Revised and updated, this popular book shows pastors and worship leaders the basics of United Methodist worship. In this straightforward and updated commentary, Hoyt Hickman explains the basic pattern of United Methodist worship within the broader context of Christian worship. Drawing upon five basic principles, the author explains the formative nature of worship and how it can revitalize persons' lives. These principles are: God's Word is primary; active congregational participation is crucial; spontaneity and order are both important; worship should be relevant and inclusive; and worship is communion. This revision will highlight the African-American contribution to UM worship, discuss at greater length what the various worship styles mean for us today, say more about the formative nature of worship, and include updated resources including the Abingdon Worship Annual, the Abingdon Preaching Annual, and WorshipConnection.

Interesting book
Yes, Methodists Do Have Tenets I am a Methodist by birth, sure of why I am a Christian, but truthfully unsure of why I am a Methodist (excepting the influence of a wonderful mother who made sure we went to church).Willimon's book does great justice to the founding principals of Methodism and fills in the gaps for those of us (most, I would hazard) who are not sure how Methodists differ from the half-dozen other "Main-Line" Protestant denominations. Willimon focuses on the vision and passion of John Wesley, Methodism's founder.Wesley was a true thinker on religious issues, and his views on grace, the primacy of scripture, the role of good works in a Christian life and the route to salvation represented a real break with Anglicanism as practiced in his time -- (though he remained an Anglican and thought of himself as a reformer of that denomination).His guidance and thoughts dominated the early Methodist movement and are very helpful for contemporary Methodists to understand.The author does an outstanding job of bringing Wesley's theological and practice thoughts to life. Where I personally thought the book was a little weak, was in discussing organized Methodism's infatuation with social policy and legislation over the last several decades.Methodists have a long and honorable history of working to end slavery, feed the poor, nourish the souls of those imprisoned and generally alleviate human misery.Willimon gives just due to this enviable record.More recently, however, the Methodist church leadership has embraced an activist legislative agenda that reads more like that of a political party instead of a God mission (and it's not a conservative political party they sound like!).This controversy is touched on briefly by the author in his chapter on works.He fails to demonstrate how current Methodist leadership's determination to have positions on many side issues (did you know the church is "for" ratifying the 1973 "Law of the Sea" treaty?), springs from Wesley's tireless efforts to improve the basic physical and moral lot of his fellow beings.In fact, the author somewhat embarrassingly acknowledges the Church's difficulty with reconciling its activism with it's original mission.He quotes one practicing Methodist infuriated by some of the Church's foray's into public policy as saying "at least this church makes me think." This is a real issue for United Methodists, one which has spawned several "back to basic" reform movements within the church and is responsible for making available some new members to the Baptist and independent churches that are in ascendancy in America today.I think the author brushed by these controversies in order to keep focused on the first principals of Methodism -- a vision that is truly inspiring and comfortable to those of us making our faith journey in this denomination. However, this digression and criticism does not underscore the value of the author's book.I suspect there are many, many Methodists wondering about what we stand for, what our founding principals are and how we differ from other protestant denominations.This book answers those three questions succinctly and well.
A look at John Wesley's beliefs and what they mean today The author looks at the beliefs given to us (yes, I'm aUnited Methodist too) by John Wesley and describes what they mean to ustoday. This short book (128 pages), published by Abingdon Press in 1990is suitable for individual reading or group study.The chapters are"Because religion is of the heart," "Because the Bible isour book," "Because religion is practical," "BecauseChristians are to worship," "Because Christians are towitness," "Because Christians are to grow," and"Because religion is not a private affair." Whether you are aUnited Methodist or not, I think you would enjoy and learn from readingthis book as I did. ... Read more |

United Methodist Hymnal
Personal copy comes quickly
A Most Excellent Hymnal
Best Hymnal / Prayerbook out In addition, the Hymmnal contains the United Methodist liturgies for the usual morning service, Baptism, Communion(with musical settings), marriages, and funerals. There are also orders for weekday Morning and Evening Prayer and Praise, which is as far as I know unprecedented in Methodism. One slight deficiency- the UM Hymnal contains no church calendar or lectionary at all. This is unfortunate, especially as the Hymnal is otherwise so complete.
A lot of thought went into this |
