What is strengthening the ties of the Methodist connection across all the differences of nationality, language and mentality? It is the commissioning by the risen Lord Jesus Christ to reconcile and to be a reconciling people. To this call we are we are responding in togetherness or alongside with other denominations. We welcome an ecumenical partnership in evangelisation, in diaconal work, in the questions of church and society as well as in the call for the defense of the creation. Central- and Southern Europe is one out of four episcopal areas in Europe.
This is an invitation to learn more about the United Methodist Church in Central Europe and in the Balkan.
