The United Methodist Church is involved in a growth industry, and if we diminish, it is not because of circumstances, but because of our failure to challenge and satisfy those circumstances. Industries and enterprises in the world around us may retrench or go bankrupt because there is less need for their product, but the need for what we have to offer is greater than ever. Who could say that loneliness, fear, anxiety, and sin are less of an issue now than in Wesley's day? Was the gospel ever needed more?
