Unleash Your Leadership Superpowers Bishop Warner H. Brown is a retired bishop of The United Methodist Church, serving from 2000 to 2016. He is currently serving as an interim bishop of the Sierra Leone Episcopal Area in the West Africa Central Conference. From 2014 to 2016, Bishop Brown was the President of the Council of Bishops. ------------------------ Bishop Brown was born and raised as an only child in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Ida and Warner Brown. At the age of thirteen, while reading the New Testament, he felt a call to serve. He began preaching as a youth and was encouraged to continue doing so. As a young adult, he attended the University of Maryland, (B.A. in Sociology, 1969.) He also graduated from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC with a Master of Divinity degree. In 1973 Warner was ordained deacon in the Baltimore Annual Conference by Bishop James K. Mathews. Yet his movement west had already begun with a pastoral appointment in the Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference as both the pastor of a church and Director of Bethany House Ministries in Pittsburgh, a social service ministry for two housing projects. While serving in western Pennsylvania, he was ordained elder in 1975 by Bishop Roy C. Nichols. In 1979, he answered a national search for an associate conference staff position in the California-Nevada Conference and transferred there. Once in California, it was only six months later that he was asked to serve as Conference Council Director. From this role of program and administrative oversight for the Conference, Warner was appointed just four years later to the Superintendency of the Golden Gate District, the richly diverse area including San Francisco and several rural and suburban counties along the Pacific Coast. Four years after that, he was given the charge of the Taylor Memorial UMC in Oakland, CA. While serving this significant congregation, the community was then assaulted by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and two years later the holocaust of fires in the Oakland hills. As chairperson of the Oakland Inter-religious Network for responding to this disaster, Warner led the community's ecumenical disaster response. Throughout these years, Warner has been active in the social justice ministries and programs of those communities and church connections where he has been appointed. To list but a sampling: Volunteer Police Chaplain, Trustee of the Glide Foundation, vice-chair of the Community Advisory Commission for Alameda County Medical Center, member of the Governing Board of United Way for Kern County, a member of the. Board of Directors for the Bakersfield Homeless Shelter, recipient of the 1996 Outstanding Leadership and Service Award for Emergency Response Ministries, given by UMCOR, and recipient of a 1998 Special Congressional Recognition from Congresswoman Barbara Lee. Warner's leadership in the church has included service as a delegate to General Conference twice, member of the General Commission on Religion and Race, a faculty member for New DS/CCD training, Harry Hoosier Member of and twice the host for the National Black Methodists for Church Renewal, chair of the Board of Missions in California-Nevada Annual Conference as well as numerous other conference boards and agencies, adjunct consultant to the Alban Institute, and a Wesley Seminary Distinguished Alumni. Following a successful eleven-year pastorate in Oakland, Warner was given a new challenge as Senior Pastor of the predominantly white yet multi-ethnic First UMC of Bakersfield, CA. Only two years into this pastorate, he was nominated and endorsed by his conference for the episcopacy: at the Western Jurisdiction Conference Sessions in Casper, Wyoming, and in July of 2000 he was elected to the episcopacy on the 19th ballot and assigned to the Denver Area. He retired in July 2016. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Grace and peace to you. I'm Rev. Joe Cailles, the pastor of Peakland United Methodist Church in Lynchburg Virginia. I'm posting videos each Wednesday sharing devotions and church news. Today is Wednesday April 12. Happy Easter! Last Sunday, we started our worship in darkness with two women approaching the tomb of Jesus, what they found was an empty tomb and words of good news: Jesus is not here. He is risen! He is risen indeed! Now, obviously, that's good news for Jesus. He lives again. Jesus' resurrection is also good news for us. Because Jesus lives, we who follow him, we live again too. Not only do we live in eternity but we have new life here these days today. That's good news for us. We have a new life and a fresh start, and we have the opportunity to do good in the world, and all that begins with Easter.. I'm so excited to share with you some of the awesome ministries that Peakland will offer in the days and weeks and months to come. These ministries will bring hope and healing for others, and they will help us reach out, serve all, and extend Gods' Table. Beginning in May, Peakland will be creating relief kits for UMCOR our denomination's relief agency. We'll join with other Virginia United Methodist churches in creating, cleaning bucket kits, hygiene kits, and menstrual kits. Last October Peakland raised funds for cleaning bucket kits, and we collected enough funds for 147 kits. What can we do this year? Throughout May, I'll make available the instructions for making cleaning bucket kits, and hygiene kits and menstrual kits. It doesn't take much, just a dozen or so items for each kit. What if our Peakland families and households each put together a kit, or two kits or 10 kits? Imagine what comfort and relief these supplies will bring to folks. Last month, Peakland folks gathered for a state of the denomination meeting in which we asked and answered questions about disaffiliation and general conference. Peakland remains United Methodist. That' isn't changing, but as other congregations disaffiliate we wanted to know how that was playing out. We also discussed some other topics like do lead pastors need doctorates? Will there be any changes to our relationship with the scouts? Why do we have communion only once a month? These were great questions and I suspect there are more questions out there about why we do the things we do at Peakland and as a denomination. So in the months to come, I'll work with our church staff and our lay leaders to create additional opportunities for us to gather as a united congregation to ask and answer questions. Peakland's deacon Andrew is creating two sets of small groups for folks at Peakland. Since I've arrived, folks have stated how much we want stronger connections with each other and to get to know folks who worship at different times. Andrew is creating affinity groups for folks to gather together regularly over a shared activity: gardening, woodworking, cooking, fishing, bowling, and Lego blocks! If you have an interest, we'll find others here who share that interest. When John Wesley first organized the Methodists, he placed them each in small groups for them to help each other be strong disciples. We're going to do that here as well. We'll form Wesley groups, small groups of folks who will meet and pray together each month and share life's joys and struggles. Please reach out to Andrew to learn more and join these small groups. Looking to the summer, we have the dates for our vacation Bible school which will be during the last week of June. We also have a church-wide overnight retreat at Eagle Eyrie in July.
UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) is the humanitarian relief arm of the United Methodist Church. We will rediscover the relationship between UMCOR and the local church and find ways to strengthen our connection.

“Where Do We Go From Here, UMC?” is a weekly podcast featuring conversations between Rev. Molly Vetter and denominational leaders about the challenges ahead as we live toward a United Methodist Church that is fully inclusive of our LGBTQ+ siblings. Despite the anti-gay policies that remain in our UMC Discipline, more and more of us continue to move forward with the work of full inclusion. Still, institutional barriers to change and the formation of a splintering denomination provide real challenge. So, as people committed to our grace-filled way of living the gospel, where do we go from here? This podcast is produced by Westwood United Methodist Church, with partner support from other groups who are working for a more just and inclusive United Methodist Church.

In part two of this series on the Book of James, we look at what it mean to live from a place of abundance and generosity, and we celebrate the generous love of God. We remembered this week all those affected by Hurricane Florence, and tithed the Sunday morning offering to UMCOR, the United Methodist disaster response agency. Generosity from the creature reflects generosity in the Creator.

Welcome to my bedroom closet. When the earthquake hit Haiti last January, that country's history of poor government was largely responsible for the extent of the devastation and inability to deal with the aftermath. Lax building codes were only one ingredient in the stew. My podcast, "Haiti: A Patient with Hope," provides an update about current recovery efforts in Haiti, and some insight as to why progress has been so slow. I hope you find my essay informative.
