What Are We to Do?

The General Conference of the United Methodist Church met this Spring to deal with many proposals on dealing with a multitude of crisis and significant needs that the United Methodist Church is facing today. With all the proposals and hard work that was done, very little was passed. Leaders in the church, across America, are asking questions about our denomination could not respond to the obvious needs and crisis that we are facing. Most of the answers have to do with simply resigning to the fact that it takes a lot of time and a lot of discussion to make radical changes, as necessary as they may be.

In the midst of this time of need for significant change, leaders are critically important. One of the people who provides leadership for the church, as a whole, particularly for the United Methodist Church, is Lovett Weems. His talk on the Methodist Tsunami has become a necessary one to watch for any concerned United Methodist and is extremely helpful to anyone who wants to understand what is happening in the mainline Protestant Church, today. See the online video, here.

Lovett has served as Seminary Dean and now is the Director of the Lewis Center for Church Leadership at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC. He is among the leaders across the United Methodist Church who is offering significant leadership at a critical time. If you’d like to hear Lovett Weems speak in person, he will be speaking at First United Methodist Church in Colorado Springs on August 1^st at an evening meeting. It is free and open to the public. This is part of a three day conference Leadership Nexus is doing to provide training in general leadership. Lovett will be not only teaching, but he will also be leading in workshops, along with many other noted leaders across the Church.

We need each other’s help. 

You are invited to go to our website for more information on how to enroll. We have half-off scholarships available today. We would love to have you join us for this powerful conference!
