Ministries of health:
Our tradition
and our challenge
The bishop and district superintendents of the Mississippi Annual Conference have added a new personal dimension to their cabinet meetings—telling stories about their personal journeys toward health and wholeness. Each time they gather, the members share prayer concerns and then begin describing how they have been keeping a covenant that outlines goals for exercise, nutrition, rest, spiritual renewal, relationships, and congregational health.
"We enter into this covenant because we have the common purpose of obeying Jesus Christ and because we believe we need one another's help to do this," the covenant says.
