I recently read an article about the UMC's "other half" the Evangelical United Brethren Church. It seems that some feel (and maybe justifiably so) that the Methodist heritage is sometimes emphasized over the EUB heritage of the United Church. Many who are members of United Methodist Churches refer to themselves as Methodists, instead of United Methodists.
Here in Ohio there is still a small minority of churches with the name "Evangelical United Brethren" that did not merge with the Methodists to form the UMC.
What do you think? Should we revisit (or make more of a point to acknowledge) more the contributions and theology that the "other half" of the church gave us?
Here's the article. It's a few years old now...but definitely interesting reading.
