Visiting Methodists at AbbeyChurch Tomorrow

We're excited to welcome Elaine Barnett and Sandra Lopez to AbbeyChurch tomorrow - they will bring respective greetings from the Methodist Church in Ireland and the Methodist Church in Britain as they travel visiting The United Church of Canada (the recognized expression of Methodism in Canada)exploring emerging expressions of church.  You can read a bit more about their visit here.

Elaine Barnett is the Lay Leader (equivalent of UCC Moderator) of the Methodist Church in Ireland (north and south).  There, the Methodist church elects a President and Lay Leader annually who chair the Conference and other committees throughout the year, as well as visiting Methodist congregations all over the world and representing the Church in the public sphere.

Sandra Lopez has served the Methodist Church in Britain’s Global Relationships Team since 2008 and has been the Partnership Coordinator for the Americas since 2013. She is passionate about fostering transformative partnerships with Methodist and ecumenical partners across Latin America and the Caribbean—communities that are growing in faith, making disciples of Jesus Christ, and pursuing justice despite adversity.
