Synopsis

Includes essays about United Methodist congregations, patterns of giving, ministry in transition, clergy compensation, and the experience of various racial and ethnic groups, both in terms of how these groups were affected by Methodism and how Methodism was shaped by their experience. The collection offers a candid description of "golden era" Methodism, and challenges how the church recalls its history.
