  • ability to advocate for the interests and inclusivity of Blacks in the general church structures, 
  • exceptional nerve to serve as the spiritual agitating conscious of the church, 
  • determination to raise up prophetic and spiritual leaders who will be advocates for the unique needs of Black people in The United Methodist Church.

Black Methodists for Church Renewal OK major restructure to reflect diversity of denomination 

 

By the Rev. Maidstone Mulenga*

 

The Rev. Cedric Bridgeforth presents the restructuring plan at
the meeting of Black Methodists for Church Renewal.

 

CHICAGO (UMNS) - A new Black Methodists for Church Renewal was born Friday, March 15, 2013, when members attending the 2013 annual meeting approved a major restructure of the official caucus that advocates for Black Methodists in The United Methodist Church.

 

The Rev. Cedrick Bridgeforth, who chaired the task force that worked on the restructuring, urged the members to be daring enough to confront the future. Bridgeforth is the Los Angeles District Superintendent in the California-Pacific Annual (regional) Conference.

 

Members voted to eliminate the use of "national" and limit the use of "African-American" tags from literature and promotions and to use "BMCR" in terms that reflect the greater diversity of the denomination. In approving the change, the caucus is taking a stand to be intentionally inclusive through effectively implementing its organizational purpose, goals and objectives. Read more.
