Disaffiliation Information—Updated FAQs

Wespath continues to respond to questions and dialogue related to potential disaffiliations from The United Methodist Church by providing unbiased information for churches, clergy and others discerning their paths forward.

We’ve recently updated three FAQs documents:

• Detailed FAQs—this document contains questions and answers for local churches, annual conferences, clergy and other stakeholders. This is your most comprehensive source of information.
• Church and Conference Disaffiliations FAQs—includes select questions and answers for local churches and annual conferences. (Note: entire conferences are not permitted to withdraw, as determined by the Judicial Council.)
• Potential UMC Restructure FAQs—includes select 2022 questions and answers.

You can find these and other useful resources at https://www.wespath.org/about-wespath/wayforwardwespathfaq. Please share this information with others in your conference.

The term "ESG" has been receiving criticism in the media, but is it warranted? Wespath CIO Dave Zellner argues "no." His op-ed published by Top1000funds.com explores common critiques of ESG and why he believes investing sustainably is a proactive strategy that adds value for investors.
