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 why 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 1st at an evening meeting.
It is free and open to the public. This is part of a three day conference that
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.
