The Connectional Table (CT) works with general agencies, the Council of Bishops, and others to explore ways in which our worldwide missional partnerships can embody our vision of connectionalism.

Connectionalism is "a vital web of interactive relationships.

The Book of Discipline contains the rules that guide The United Methodist Church. Only General Conference can change the book, which is revised after each meeting of the conference. Photo by Mike DuBose, UMNS.

We are connected

by sharing a common tradition of faith, including Our Doctrinal Standards and General Rules (¶ 104);

by sharing together a constitutional polity, including a leadership of general superintendency;

by sharing a common mission, which we seek to carry out by working together in and through conferences that reflect the inclusive and missional character of our fellowship;

by sharing a common ethos that characterizes our distinctive way of doing things."

(The United Methodist Book of Discipline 2016, ¶132)
