As United Methodists in the U.S. continue to count losses in worship attendance and membership, the denomination is re-evaluating its structure and making efforts to identify and address the challenges it faces, the Christian Post website reports today.
A new report by the denomination gave "below average" grades to the body's governance and agencies as it cited a lack of mission clarity and accountability -- among other things -- within The United Methodist Church.
"The agencies are a cacaphony of voices," the report -- titled "Operational Assessment Project" -- cited one Methodist as saying. "Their 'brands and communications compete with one another' and result in confusion and dilution of impact at the Annual Conference and Local Church levels."
Annual conferences are the denomination's regional bodies.
