Every now and then, a moment occurs in church history which takes on new meaning and perspective. Such is the renewal of the United Methodist Church's mission within Russia and other independent republics formerly part of the Soviet Union. "Many do not know that the churches of the Methodist tradition began work in the countries of the former Soviet Union in the late nineteenth century. But in the pages of Methodism in Russia and the Baltic States we become witnesses to the powerful story of missional outreach of the Wesleyan tradition in this part of the world, then and now."--Randolph Nugent, General Secretary, Board of Global Ministries
