Histoire administrative

The Commission on Worship was established by the General Conference of the Methodist Church in 1956. This Commission worked on both the Book of Worship and the Hymnal. In 1984 another Commission on Worship was established by the General Conference of The United Methodist Church. Sample liturgies are all that have come down from that Commission.

There are sample liturgies from the 1980s era Commission on Worship as well. The amount of material was so small that it was decided to combine the two groups together.
