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.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
