Why does this matter? - The Methodist Church

Home For churches The Inclusive Methodist Church Resources, Events and Support Why does this matter?

Because of the impact on people’s lives when we do not treat each other well. We believe that these concerns come from the Bible and are important if we want to witness to God’s love for all people.

I feel part of a movement that is bravely lifting heads towards God, being given thechance to speak out against injustice and for my words to have been heard andunderstood. The nature of my heart has been felt, not the colour of my skin. Foronce in my UK Church life, I feel the warmth of hope in reality and not just silently in my heart.

This is about listening to, and learning from, real life experience.

Below are quotations to help you understand, and to share with others, what it means for people in practice. They are quotations from real Methodists which show how we need to change and what a difference it makes when we do!
