The group has put together a Missional Manifesto declaring the shared beliefs and welcoming church members to sign. âWe would suggest that the Missional Manifesto works in parallel with the work of the Call to Action task force and the recommendations of the Interim Operations Team,â the group says on its website. âPart of the impetus for developing this manifesto was our own longing for a statement which more explicitly conveyed a missional identity for the United Methodist Church, something which the Call to Action material assumed, but never overtly communicated.â [25]To visit the website» Did someone you know pass along this copy to you?
