Our Hearts Were Strangely Lukewarm

History & Biography

“John Elford provides us with a contemporary critical history of (United) Methodism’s complicity with racism and its problematic upholding of white supremacy. His overall message is quite needed in our current moment of discerning our future as United Methodists. Will we finally take a page from the history books and dismantle the systemic racism that continues to seep into and through our structure? This book is a necessary addition to the conversation of how United Methodism should reshape itself.”
