Remaining & Thriving United Methodists (United Methodist Association of Retired Clergy & Friends)
April 20, 2023 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Join us on Thursday, April 20 for a free Zoom Webinar for laity & clergy focused on Remaining & Thriving United Methodists.
Led by Rev. Dr. Harvey C. Martz, Co-Chair of the United Methodist Association of Retired Clergy and Friends (UMARC), the panel of six speakers from North Carolina, Texas, and Colorado, will explore both how United Methodists who have lost their church homes by disaffiliation votes are forming new congregations & other UM churches are flourishing as inclusive communities of faith.
Media attention has been drawn to the 6% of the churches leaving the denomination in the USA, but beyond the headlines is the story of how overwhelmingly congregations and pastors are choosing to embrace a future more positive toward LGBTQ+ persons and policies.
