Greater Good Group
INTEGRATING SOCIAL PRINCIPLES INTO OUR CHURCH AND SOCIETY
The Social Principles of the United Methodist Church represent “prayerful and earnest efforts . . . to speak to issues in the contemporary world from a sound biblical and theological foundation that is in keeping with the best of our United Methodist traditions.” In addition, they are “a call to faithfulness and to social engagement and intended to be instructive” as well as a challenge to “all members of The United Methodist Church to engage in deliberative reflection and encourage intentional dialogue between faith and practice.”
The Greater Good Group includes WUMC members who are intentionally seeking to live into the Social Principles and to invite the greater congregation to reflect on these values and respond faithfully to meet the needs of the greater good.
