 “They have vision for the realm of God and compassion for people outside of
   their immediate community.” — Bishop Sally Dyck of the Minnesota Annual
   (regional) Conference, speaking about the conference success in raising
                          funds to fight malaria.

Minnesotans add $2 million to malaria fight

   MINNEAPOLIS (UMNS) — Minnesota United Methodists have raised $2,226,023 in
   pledges and gifts for Imagine No Malaria, The United Methodist Church’s
   campaign to eliminate malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africa by 2015. That
   total is the highest amount raised by a United Methodist annual (regional)
   conference to date.

Board screens out private-prison investments

   GLENVIEW, Ill. (UMNS) — For the past seven months, The United Methodist
   Church’s pension agency has pondered the question of whether it is moral for
   United Methodists to make an investment profit from the incarceration of
   individuals. On Jan. 3, the board announced its decision.

                                           [18]Read more and post a comment»


Science can help church keep its young folk

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) — A nationwide study found three out of 10 young
   adults with a Christian background feel churches are out of step with the
   scientific world we live in. Embracing an attitude of reconciliation and
   partnership with science will be essential if we hope to attract young
   people and keep them engaged in pursuit of a rich spiritual life, writes
   Gary B. Sherman, a scientist and United Methodist.

Human Relations Day offering Jan. 15

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) — The Human Relations Day offering supports vital
   community ministries that teach and advocate for justice, especially among
   people struggling to survive in the margins of society. As one example,
   students at United Methodist-related Philander Smith College in Little Rock,
   Ark., are becoming more involved in social concerns with help from the
   United Methodist Voluntary Service program.

                                                              [20]Read more»



Exemplary teacher awards to 11

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) — Eleven professors at United Methodist-related
   colleges, universities and theological schools have received the Exemplary
   Teacher Award from the United Methodist Board of Higher Education and
   Ministry. Faculty members were nominated and selected based on exemplary
   teaching, service to students beyond the classroom and commitment to
   values-centered education. The program expresses the church’s support of and
   appreciation for outstanding teaching at United Methodist-related colleges
   and universities.
