(UMNS) â Congregational resources for the Rethink Church advertising and welcoming campaign have moved to a new website address: [15]umcom.org/rethinkchurch. The website that previously housed congregational resources, RethinkChurch.org, will become the primary seeker site that is featured in Rethink Church advertising, beginning this fall. âResearch shows that RethinkChurch.org resonates most strongly with the seekers we are trying to reach with our denominational advertising,â said the Rev. Larry Hollon, chief executive of United Methodist Communications. âThis website address reinforces the message we want non-United Methodist seekers to take away from our advertisingâthat we are rethinking church.â Crosby named top executive of black caucus NASHVILLE, Tenn.(UMNS) â Pamela Crosby has been elected executive director of Black Methodists for Church Renewal, a caucus of The United Methodist Church. Since July 2007, Crosby has served in this position in a part-time capacity. She has worked in editorial and production capacities for United Methodist general agencies for more than 20 years. She will begin full-time duties with Black Methodists for Church Renewal on Oct. 1. Did someone you know pass along this copy to you? Get your own copy [16]here.
