Your views matter. From Monday you will have the chance for your comments to feed into the action the Church takes on Reparative Justice, as a new consultation process is launched.
Throughout autumn, there will be opportunities to take part in online discussions, in-person events and surveys. Feedback will help inform recommendations and actions put to the Methodist Conference in 2027.
“We live in a world in need of peace.”
Over 240,000 people were killed in conflict-related violence in 2025. Ahead of Peace Sunday this weekend and the United Nations forthcoming International Day of Peace, Rachel Lampard, Director of Social Justice and Social Action for the Methodist Church, reflects on how we can all become peacemakers.
If you are interested in joining a group to explore how best to support peacebuilding as part of ordinary Christian discipleship, contact Rachel Lampard: LampardR@methodistchurch.org.uk
With a rise in anti-migrant protests and populist expressions of “Christian nationalism”, how should we respond?
This guidance offers resources and responses based on the experiences of Methodist churches, and some upcoming events on this subject.
Well, actually, this event is on 24th September 2026
Our guest speaker will be Rev Mark Slaney, President of the Methodist Conference. Join us online or in Stirling Methodist Church to pray for peace and justice for our neighbours in Israel and Palestine.

“I invite you to contemplate deeply what solidarity you and the church to which you belong both practise, and might be called to practise, in local contexts and in relation to the cries for justice and mercy worldwide.”
The 2026 Methodist Conference received a report on the Missional Use of Property, posing questions about how we can best use our property in missional ways. The report highlighted three strategic areas which needed to be developed further to support The Missional Use of Property:
The Conference noted that each of these areas needed to begin by listening across the Methodist Church, so as part of that listening process, we are inviting people from across the Connexion to sign up so as many voices as possible can be heard.
There will be three online consultations held on the following dates:
Each of the three sessions will be the same so you only need to register for one.
The sessions will be held on Zoom and the link will be sent by eventbrite before the meeting.
