Patricia Hale Robey Thanks for writing this article “Living in the Light” by Bishop Keith Cowart. It needs to be read and
re-read. Good truth.
Karen Kinnaman What are some ways we can encourage ourselves and each other in how we engage in a Christ-centered
way when we are communicating with others who may not necessarily agree with what we believe?
Charlie Shoemaker It first has to start with friendship. It’s hard to talk to your neighbor about Christ if you’ve never talked to
your neighbor.

Nelson Kwendanji Banda The gospel is working and powerful to those who believe and trust Jesus.
Bishop Keith Cowart We live in a nation that is clearly divided and in disarray. Our nation desperately needs a living
example of a better way.
David Hamilton I so agree, Bishop Cowart, and sadly that division is very evident in our churches.
Jeff Finley As I share in the On Point article “Secrets, Idols and Insurance”, my grandparents were concerned their
Modern Woodmen life insurance might keep them from being accepted into membership in the Free Methodist Church.
After all, the Free Methodist Church prohibited secret societies such as the Masons, the Odd Fellows, and possibly even
the group behind the insurance. Why do you think the secret-society prohibition was a key principle of Free Methodism in
past decades?
Edie Miller Reay Church business was being decided among those who were Masons bypassing the polity of the church.
Karen Kinnaman How can we, as Free Methodists, provide a living example to our communities to come together in unity?
Darren Anderson I think a much deeper and wider commitment denominational wide to plant and support multicultural
churches is absolutely paramount! Learning, studying, growing and becoming known for that work not only lies within our
denominational DNA! It also sets a high example for all of the community around it and leads simply by example. As more
and more multicultural churches are growing not only in our inner-cities but also in our suburbs, it simply must become an
essential part of our denominational lifestyle moving forward!
Charlie Shoemaker I think we need to realize how desperate the world is for something different and authentic. We need to
go back to our roots of preaching/ministering to the poor. Demonstrating the love of Jesus in our communities (corporately
and individually). And in everything we need to constantly point to Jesus.
