The United Methodist
Church
On April 23, 1968, The United Methodist Church was created when Bishop
Reuben H. Mueller, representing The Evangelical United Brethren Church,
and Bishop Lloyd C. Wicke of The Methodist Church joined hands at the
constituting General Conference in Dallas, Texas. With the words, "Lord
of the Church, we are united in Thee, in Thy Church and now in The
United Methodist Church," the new denomination was given birth by two
churches that had distinguished histories and influential ministries in
various parts of the world. |
