Years pass and the dreams of the young change Suddenly, there are new goals clamoring for our attention . . . But a world of unique adventure is never far from our doorway ? the world of truth, the world of the spirit as revealed through the love and inspiring teachings of our Church and the Bible.

The United Methodist Church traces its roots to the 18th Century when a priest of the Church of England, John Wesley, began . a movement whose members were called Methodists by opponents because of the methodical way in which they worshipped and witness ed. After the Revolutionary War in America the Methodist movement swept the frontiers, moving west with the settlers. The church split into several bodies during the 200 years since 1784 when organization occured in America. Race policy and struture were principal causes. Mergers to reunite the church began in the 20th Century. By 1968 three branches of the original American Methodist Episopal Church along with the Evangelical United Brethren Church had united to form the present 10 million member United Methodist Church in the U. S. and overseas. Three major black Methodist bodies are studying merger possibilities. They are the African Methodist, Episcopal Zion, the Chris tian Methodist Episcopal, and the African Methodist Episcopal chur ches. Together they represent more than 4 million Methodists. Worldwide the World Methodist Council claims Wesley-tradition religious bodies in a 50 million member fellowship. The Council meets once every five years in a World Methodist Conference.
