Recommended Viewing: Methodist Church of Great Britain Twinning Training

The Global Relations team of the Methodist Church of Great Britain has created a series of training resources for what they call "church twinning," but is also called "sister church" or "sister parish" relationships. These training materials are intended for local congregations with partner congregations in other parts of the world. Many UMC congregations have such partnerships as well. The resources constitute five 10-15 minute long videos, each with discussion questions. The topics covered include "Mission Today," "Money and Power in Global Partnerships," "Sharing Gifts," "Crossing Cultures," and "Race, Racism and Unconscious Bias." The videos are highly recommended for churches looking to improve the quality of their international partnerships.
