We have an ecumenical and interfaith commitment

United Methodists respond to the theological, biblical, and practical mandates for Christian unity by firmly committing ourselves to the cause of Christian unity. Through faith in Jesus Christ we are made members-in-common of the one body of Christ. Christian unity is not an option; it is a gift to be received and expressed.  At the same time, we celebrate the rich experience of United Methodist leadership as part of the diversity within unity. We see the Holy Spirit at work in making the unity among us more visible. 

Concurrently, we have entered into serious interfaith encounters and explorations between Christians and adherents of other living faiths of the world. Scripture calls us to be both neighbors and witnesses to all people. As people bound together on one planet, we see the need for a self-critical view of our own tradition and accurate appreciation of other traditions.

(From the Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, the product of our over 200 years of tradition, where we set forth the laws, plan, polity, and process by which we United Methodists govern ourselves.)
