This book assesses the conceptualisation of international mission
in the Methodist Church Ghana. It demonstrates that Ghanaian
Methodists possess a robust ecclesiology with roots in the Akan
concept of "abusua" and an evangelical theology rooted in John
Wesley. The author gives interpretations to the ways mission takes
place and proposes twelve models of mission whereby members of
diasporic communities are agents of mission. As mission is seen a
responsibility of the whole church, mission is a common theme
related to the migration of Ghanaian Methodists to other contexts,
often understood in terms of in the global North. The church's
presence in North America and Europe presents challenges and
opportunities that must be negotiated in a broader Methodist
mainline milieu.

Together at the Table is the personal story and public message of
Bishop Karen Oliveto, the first openly LGBTQ person to be elected a
bishop in The United Methodist Church. Her election was and is
controversial, with opponents seeking to have her removed and some
even threatening violence against her. The denomination has been
debating the inclusion of LGBTQ people for decades and will be
gathering in February 2019 to determine whether it can agree to let
conferences within the church ordain as they see fit and let
congregations decide what weddings to hold or whether conservative
and liberal factions will break off from the denominational body.
Bishop Oliveto believes that the church can stay togetherthat
people of different convictions can remain in communion with one
another. Woven together with her own story of coming out and
following God's call to ordained ministry is her guidance for how
to live together despite differencesby practicing empathy, living
with ambiguity, appreciating the diversity of creation, and
embracing unity without uniformity.
