Walking through this Women’s History Month and time of lent, we can explore our roots as Methodists and understand the beauty of the Grace God has given to our church, because we have a long history of including clergywomen in the UMC’s ranks. Let us delve into the reasons behind this practice and recognize the theological and historical context.
Trinity has great cause for rejoicing regarding our connections with students (and staff) at The College of New Jersey last Ash Wednesday
As we enter the period of Lent, a time of introspection and spiritual renewal, the historic meeting between St. George’s United Methodist Church and Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia resonates deeply within the Methodist community, offering a profound lesson in repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
Recuerdo cuando leí estas líneas por primera vez. Mi alma se llenó de una emoción que no puedo describir. Fue una mezcla de sentimientos entre tristeza, desilusión y también emoción por la valentía de Jones y Allen (quien también fue parte del evento), quienes tuvieron que abandonar el lugar inspirados por un alto sentido de dignidad. Según la historia completa, este evento inició el movimiento metodista negro en los Estados Unidos, que a su vez marcó el comienzo de la Iglesia Episcopal Metodista Afroamericana.
I remember when I read these lines for the first time. My soul was filled with an emotion I cannot describe. It was a mix of feelings between sadness, disappointment, and also excitement because of the bravery of Jones and Allen (who was also part of the event), who had to leave the place moved by dignity. According to the completed story, this event began the Black Methodist movement in the United States, which started the African American Methodist Episcopal Church.
I recently came across a trend on social media in which content creators complain about the practice of some companies to use the sentence “don’t call us… We’ll call you,” as a euphemism for “you are not continuing the process,” when a job interview goes bad.
Welcome to Trinity...
Where the invisible throw shadows,
the weak lead, the silent are heard,
and the pushed aside
are called into the center
where they are listened to,
lifted up and loved.
Whoever you are, you are welcome here!
