The Book of Discipline and the Book of Resolution of the United Methodist Church

I wonder what The Book of Discipline says about baptism?" "What do United Methodists believe about abortion?" "What is the difference between the pastor and the layperson in our congregation?" "What is said in our Social Principles about gun control or war?" "What responsibilities do we accept for one another in a congregation that is vitally linked to thousands of other congregations?" Questions like these might prompt a trip to examine the rule for daily life and ministry that we United Methodists refer to as our "discipline." In short, the book of law for The United Methodist Church, The Book of Discipline sets forth the laws, plans, polities, and processes by which United Methodists govern themselves.
