Bishop Coyner elected Board of Discipleship president
Bishop Coyner elected Board of Discipleship president
Indiana Area Bishop Michael J. Coyner was elected Sept. 29 to a four-year term as president of the United Methodist General Board of Discipleship during the church agency board's fall meeting in Nashville, Tenn., where the agency's offices are based.
Upon his election, Bishop Coyner said, "I am pleased to serve as President of General Board of Discipleship because this agency deals with issues which are at the heart of the church such as worship, education, stewardship, discipleship. This is an important time for GBOD as we begin the new Division on Ministries with Youth People which was approved by the General Conference. The GBOD also is welcoming the initiative Strengthening the Black Church for the 21st Century, which now will be housed with GBOD.
"So it is an important time to provide leadership for GBOD, and I am glad to be working with a good staff here including the Rev. Karen Greenwalt, the general secretary."
