The Case for Change
As we approach the Methodist Conference in 2019 which will be considering and beginning to make decisions on the Task Group’s report about Marriage and Relationships, Dignity and Worth has released a new booklet setting out why we think it’s time for the Methodist Church to make some changes. This booklet is aimed to be suitable for conversations in churches, circuits and districts and to be helpful even if you’ve never thought about these things before. You can download it from our website or contact us to send you hard copies.
Pre-conference gathering: Warm hearts, WARM places
We’re gathering on 25 May 2019 from 10am at Warwick Methodist Church as we prepare for this year’s Methodist Conference. This event will include the launch of our new WARM places scheme for local churches. All are welcome.

Statement – Getting to the Mixed Economy
Outcome and Dignity and Worth are pleased to launch our new statement. It outlines our vision of a pathway to enabling equal marriage in the Methodist Church as quickly as possible, whilst safeguarding the consciences of those who wish to refrain from doing so. We need a ‘Mixed Economy’ for our church, and we need to as soon as possible!
If you would like a printed copy, please send an email to leadership@dignityandworth.org.uk with your details and we’ll be glad to send you a copy. Copies are free, but donations to cover publishing and postage are most welcome.
