A Methodist Way of Life (original resources)

A Methodist Way of Life offers a way for Methodists and other Christians to express their discipleship and spirituality by commitment to a set of practices based on Our Calling. It puts into words how we can live our lives in response to God’s love made known to us in Jesus.

Like the early Christians (Acts 2:42-47), we seek to express what it means to follow Jesus in the regular, practical actions of worship, learning and caring, service and evangelism. 

In this sense, A Methodist Way of Life is both new and old. It is new, in that Methodists first discussed such a way at the 2018 Conference, although it is based on Our Calling, agreed in 2000. That, in turn, was built on what Methodists have always done, since the days of John Wesley, in trying to follow Jesus and live out the Christian faith – just as those first followers in Acts did.

The commitments of A Methodist Way of Life remind us of, and provide a compass for, Christian living.
