A significant piece of Methodist ecumenism occurred recently. Leaders of The United Methodist Church and the Methodist Church in Britain met in London on Aug. 10-12, 2018, to reaffirm a concordat (ecumenical agreement) between the two denominations originally negotiated 50 years ago. This meeting included explorations of news ways for the two denominations to be in mission together going forward.
