하나님의 영은 창립 이래 감리교 운동에 활기를 불어넣어 왔습니다. 1720년대에 존과 찰스 웨슬리와 옥스포드 대학의 친구들은 매일 실용적인 영적 훈련을 통해 기독교 신앙을 심화하기 위해 함께 모였습니다. 다른 사람들이 신앙을 실천하고 서로에게 책임을 지는 "체계적인" 방식에 대해 "감리교의 새로운 종파"로 조롱한 소그룹은 모욕을 받아들이고 교제에 인내했다. 그래서 그들과 그들을 따라 수백만 그 이후로 "감리교라는 사람들"로 알려져있다.
In that spirit, this Book of Doctrines and Discipline of the Global Methodist Church is intended to serve as a resource for all who wish to join in a “methodical,” practical, and warm- hearted pursuit of loving God and serving others as Jesus’ disciples in the world. Beginning with confessions rooted in Scripture and shaped by the great teaching of the Church universal, the Book of Doctrines and Discipline provides the essential structure for the Global Methodist Church from its official launch on May 1, 2022. It is offered with the prayer that it will help guide us in a new season of the church’s life as we make disciples of Jesus Christ and spread scriptural holiness across the globe.
