Primer for the UMC Book of Discipline3
This book was helpful while trudging through the UMC Book of Discipline 2000. (The 2004 is now available.) It helped to spot problems, provided some history, and pointed to possible future difficulties. If you must read and understand the UMC Book of Discipline, this book can be a simple way to start.

Its usefulness is limited to UMC clergy and lay leaders. If you need to learn your way around the heirarchy and the bureaucracy, this is a place to start. Another book to consider is "The Organization of the United Methodist Church" by Jack Tuell.

Great companion to the UMC Discipline5
Extremely useful resource for pastors, seminarians. Also for lay leaders mystified by the church's polity and practices.
