Vision Statement
Chairs of the Lutheran United Methodist Dialogue
As we begin our conversation, we expect to further explore and discover our partnership in the Gospel, and we hope to discern a clearer vision of our common discipleship.
In committing ourselves to this next round of dialogue, we express our hope for full communion between our two churches.
