This is the website for the Dallas-Denton District Lay Speakers. All are welcome to register, with a special invitation to laity. You do not need to be a lay speaker, though that is our primary focus.
“The University of Phoenix of religions”? Prompted by The Daily Show host Jon Stewart’s recent remarks, Robin Russell explores why this is the common perception of United Methodism.
United Methodists are among more than 90 Christian clergy and laity who have signed a letter calling for church members to speak out against racially motivated attacks against President Obama. Heather Hahn of UMNS has the story.
All Lay Speakers must fill out their annual report each year, and it must be voted on by your charge conference.? We are currently having difficulty uploading files to attach them to articles.? Please email

Website Roles
Written by Mark Johnson

In using the new website, users will be able to have different roles based on their position within the organization.
The webservant will have overall master control for the website to assure it is working properly. Along with this, the webservant will be able to author, edit, publish, and delete all content. In addition, the webservant will be responsible for making sure that the domain is kept registered, the site has adequate hosting resources, and the overall capabilities and software needed for the smooth operation of the website.
The website committee will have general control similar to the webservant, but will not deal with domain, hosting, or software issues. The committee may advise on those issues, but will be primarily focussed on assuring that all content areas are working properly and needed content is properly updated and organized.
Officers will be able to post content related to their own areas of responsibility. For example, the Secretary-Treasurer will be able to post minutes and correspondence. The newsletter editor will be able to write general articles about information from members or from the Lay Speaking Committee. The Training Coordinator will be able to schedule classes and course descriptions. The District Director will be able to write articles about the activities of the district and developments within the conference or broader Lay Speaking issues.
