The United Methodist Church has long sought to point God's people towards the reconciling love in Jesus Christ by urging congregations and individuals for working towards justice and inclusion in church and society. During the course of Lent, we touched on a number of church teaching documents that are both convicting and compelling. Whether they convict you or frustrate you, you may want to take more time to meditate on them and see how you can integrate the teaching of the church into your life.
