Is it too late
for United Methodist Camps
to save the United Methodist Church?
Bishops are asked to carry many anxieties at once: declining numbers, shrinking resources, competing urgencies, and decisions that will echo long after any one appointment ends.
This reflection is offered with deep respect for that burden. It does not presume error or negligence. It simply asks whether some of the conclusions we have come to—especially about camp ministry— deserve a second, more spacious hearing. It offers invitation without proposing solutions or defending existing structures, trusting that careful attention may reveal capacities still present but easily missed.
