United Methodism is characterized by:
1) a democratic form of government consisting of executive (council of bishops), legislative (annual and general conferences composed of ordained clergy and lay persons) and judicial branches;
2) the right of each member to make his or her own decisions about faith, morals and practice through the use of resources such as the church and the Wesleyan quadrilateral: scripture, reason, tradition and experience;
3) a commitment to social justice and peace (although it is not a pacifist church).
