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 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 1^st 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.

We have half-off scholarships available today. We would love to have you 
join us for this powerful conference!
