Renewal | Looking into The Future: The Future of The United Methodist Church (Iliff School of Theology)

What does the future look like for organized religion? This question has weighed on the minds of people around the world for years, and for many of us at Iliff, it has narrowed specifically to the future of The United Methodist Church. Even while we celebrate the incredible steps forward made at this year’s General Conference and the installation of a new Bishop in the Mountain Sky Conference (MSC), we wonder what tomorrow will hold for our congregations.

For our November Renewal session, we are diving into this question as we consider the recent changes and hope for a continued movement across the denomination toward justice and equity. Our incredible panelists, including the newly installed Bishop Kristin Stoneking, will consider the changes they have seen in The UMC and the changes they hope to see in the future, both as ministers and lay members of the denomination. Join us for a unique discussion of the future of The United Methodist Church!
