About this title

Synopsis

Practical guidance on church discipline and governance for pastors

This concise manual offers an advisory, non-official overview of how to navigate membership, trials, and conference structure within the Methodist Episcopal Church. It emphasizes clear procedures, careful balance between ecclesiastical rules and civil considerations, and the aim to support the young pastor in daily duties.

Adapted to the 1884 discipline, this book presents the framework for members, probationers, withdrawals, and the flow of authority from local societies up through annual and district conferences. It underscores that the text is not a legal code but a practical summary of usage and best practices, drawn from conversations with ministers and long-standing church experience.

Explore how membership, probation, and withdrawal are intended to function in real church life
Understand the roles of pastors, presiding elders, and conference structures
Learn what to expect in church trials, documentation, and appeals
Find guidance for shepherding a congregation while upholding discipline and care

Ideal for readers who want a reliable, approachable reference to church administration and the duties of the pastorate.
