| New Social Principles Book Available!
Teaming up with The General Board of Church and Society, Cokesbury has completed the editing and production of the official book, Social Principles of The United Methodist Church 2025-2028.
First adopted by the 1972 General Conference, the official Social Principles document stands in the Wesleyan tradition of forthright moral witness and ethical action. We encourage you to read and become familiar with them.
The Social Principles articulate The United Methodist Church’s ethical aspirations for the common good in public policies and personal commitments. Through them, we seek to love God with our whole heart, mind, soul, and strength and to desire for our neighbors what we desire for ourselves.
Copies are available for purchase from Cokesbury for individual or group study.
