Prepared from The Book of Discipline following the 1992 General Conference of The United Methodist Church, this popular book has been completely revised and updated by Jack M. Tuell.

A valuable resource for all United Methodists, the book is presented in a practical, down-to-earth manner for easy use by both lay people and clergy. It explains the functions and relationships within the organization, beginning with the local church and continuing through connectional organizations in districts, annual conferences boards and agencies, the judicial system, and the General Conference.

Bishop Tuell discusses the structure and organization of the church, and its strengths and weaknesses. He projects the image of a denomination that spreads its influence worldwide. yet maintains its early enthusiasm and dedication for spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ through personal faith and active involvement with humanity.
