The Methodist Church in Britain receives with deep sadness the news of the death of His Holiness Pope Francis, and gives thanks for his life and Christian witness.

As God receives Pope Francis into God’s arms of love, we pray that he may rest in peace and rise in glory.


Survivors of abuse work with the Methodist Church to exhibit a painting by Eric Gill.

In a ground-breaking initiative, survivors of abuse have been instrumental in advising the Methodist Church on the future of a watercolour, Annunciation, which was created by the controversial sculptor, typographer and printmaker, Eric Gill, who sexually abused two of his daughters.


Everybody is welcome Call to Action image

I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

John 13:34 (NRSVA)

Every person is made in God's image and is of equal value

Everyone is welcome

The Methodist Church is committed to Justice, Dignity and Solidarity. We believe that all people are uniquely made in the image of God, and we aim to live this out in the Church and in our communities. This forms our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) work.

Net-Zero call to action image

God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.

Genesis 1:31 (NRSVA)

Net zero carbon emissions by 2030

Action for hope

The climate emergency is one of the most pressing concerns in the world today, but it is not merely a secular one. As Christians and Methodists we are called to care for God’s creation and challenge injustice, so climate concerns are inherently missional and part of our discipleship.

seeking justice 2 call to action block

And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Micah 6:8

Challenging the injustices of the world

Seeking justice

As Christians we’re called to seek God’s justice. Justice that enables everyone, and all creation, to flourish. Justice that removes everything that diminishes people, that oppresses or exploits them. Justice that enables us all to grow in relationship with each other and with God. 

God for All call to action image

I have called you friends.

John 15:15

Building real friendships in diverse communities

Exploring spirituality

Methodists believe God is For All. Different people experience God in different ways – that's how God works! We love real conversations about life with diverse people, in unexpected places – like the Edinburgh Fringe, Silverstone Grand Prix, and your local coffee shop or pub. We're starting new kinds of communities exploring God together.
