United Methodism American Culture Volume 2: The People Called Methodist

by Dennis M. Campbell

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.

1 star because I DNF. Just a collection of essays reporting statistics about the state of the American UMC in 1998. Now in 2020, I suspect you could cut every statistic in half or more and get a pretty good picture of today’s UNC. This collection is for research exclusively.

[J. Ewbank · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is volume two of the series of United Methodism American Culture and it covers the forms and reforms of their life. It has a wide variety of ways of looking at United Methodists from culture to race to morals and wages for the clergy. It is not a volume for easy reading but it is well worth the effort of readig through the information.
