 | | In Australia, the Methodist Church merged with the Presbyterian Church and the Congregationalist Church in 1977, becoming the Uniting Church. | | | Ministers are assigned to churches by bishops, distinguishing it from presbyterian government. | | | In the 1960s, the Methodist Church made ecumenical overtures to the Church of England, aimed at church unity. |

| | However, the church was responsible for founding three of the south's top divinity schools: Vanderbilt University Divinity School, Duke University Divinity School, and Candler Divinity School at Emory University. | | | This body maintained its own polity until it reunited with the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Protestant Church to form the Methodist Church in 1939, which in turn later (1968) merged with the Evangelical United Brethren Church to form The United Methodist Church. | | | While the two other major Methodist denominations in America—the MEC and the Methodist Protestant Church—had agreed to ordain women either as local elders and deacons (the MEC) or full clergy (the Methodist Protestant Church), the MEC, South did not ordain women as pastors at the time of the 1939 merger that formed The Methodist Church. |

| | Christians (including Methodists) believe that Jesus was God on Earth (the product of a virgin conception) in the form of a man who was crucified for the sins of all people, and who was physically resurrected to bring them the hope of eternal life. | | | Baptism, a sacrament shared with many Christian churches, is a ceremony in which a person is annointed with water to symbolize being brought into the community of faith. | | | Among the beliefs Methodists uphold with other Christian groups is the previously mentioned belief in a triune God. |

| | CME History |
| | Thus, the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church is the name of the denomination of followers of Christ of the Methodist tradition, with hierarchical government headed by Bishops. | | | Episcopal - comes from the Greek word episkopos, which means "bishops", and in the name of our denomination the word refers to our form of government, that is is hierarchical with bishops holding the highest administrative rank. | | | The word Christian replaced the word Colored in the name of our CME Church in 1954, as a means of removing: from our name any indication that race or color would be barrier to membership in our Church, and indicates welcome to anyone who embraces the faith. |

| | We believe that the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church is a part of the body of Christ, and that it must express itself in the world in the light of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. | | | For the Church to be silent in the face of need, injustice, and exploitation is to deny the Lord of the Church. | | | We believe "out of one blood God made all the nations who dwell on the face of the earth," that Jesus is most uniquely His Son, that all persons are brothers and sisters, and each person is of infinite worth, and a child of God. |
