Igniting Ministry
"Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors." from the people of The United Methodist Church.
"LIVING OUR PROMISE": The promise of "Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors." from the people of The United Methodist Church is being adopted and lived out in our almost 36,000 congregations in the United States. It was created by Igniting Ministry at United Methodist Communications as part of the denomination's first media campaign. This promise was developed after analysis of The United Methodist Church's theological history, as expressed in various sections of The Book of Discipline. Extensive research helped identify genuine expressions of yearning by people seeking spiritual renewal and connection within an affirming community. Our open hearts are evident not only in our shared theology but also in our service to the world; our open minds focus on servanthood; and our open doors allow for a variety of understandings within a single faith community.
