Welcome to United Methodist Advocacy in Pennsylvania. We represent more than 2,400 United Methodist congregations with more than 450,000 members across the Commonwealth.
United Methodist Advocacy in Pennsylvania is the new name for A United Methodist Witness in Pennsylvania.
We believe our new name, and our vastly improved ability to communicate with United Methodists across Pennsylvania, will help us in our mission to advocate for the voiceless, and for open, transparent government.
In addition to this new Web site, we have a Facebook Page, United Methodist Advocacy PA, and a Twitter designation, PAMethodist.
One of the reasons for the name change is to make our mission clear. “Communication requires quick, clear messaging,” said the Rev. Keith Benjamin of Carbondale, PA, our board chair. “Changing our name from witness to advocacy removes any confusion about our role. We are advocates for the church and Jesus Christ.”
“We are very proud of the way United Methodists in Pennsylvania have responded to our calls to action on issues of vital importance,” Benjamin said. “With our new Web site, Facebook page, and Twitter, Pennsylvania Methodists can both receive and send information related to issues before Pennsylvania government.”
