Broken bodies mend. Depressed minds heal. Storm-tossed cities
rebuild. Troubled institutions recover. Churches experience
renewal. So why not the Methodist Church? This book confronts the
facts and invokes the Spirit. It will explore the multiple meaning
of recovery and the denomination's prospect for recovering. It will
take seriously the possibility that recovery of Methodism may not
require--or include--the survival of The United Methodist Church as
a denomination. That is part of the mystery of recovery. By
confronting provocative questions relating to funding missions,
declining membership, itinerancy, guaranteed appointments,
ordination requirements and authorization, the author helps
Methodism take those crucial first steps on the road to recovery.
From the Circuit Rider review: "Dean of the Perkins School of
Theology in Dallas, Lawrence offers a sobering diagnosis of the
United Methodist Church s current condition and prescribes a number
of items essential to its recovery. The book is a thoughtful
portrayal of Methodism s plight in North America, with specific
attention given to the United Methodist Church and the history of
this particular limb of the Methodist body (viii)." (Click here to
