From United Methodist News Service:
"FORT WORTH, Texas (UMNS)—People who join United Methodist churches henceforth will promise to be faithful in 'their witness' as well as in their 'prayers, their presence, their gifts and their service.'
The 2008 United Methodist General Conference voted April 30 to add the witness phrase to the liturgy the church uses when a person makes a profession of membership."
As the article noted, congregations repeat these vows along with new members. I think this is a welcome development.
