LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke about her Methodist faith in personal terms Saturday, telling a gathering of Methodist women that their conference felt like a "homecoming" and that the church's obligation to serve others has guided her personal and professional life.
"I have always cherished the Methodist Church because it gave us the great gift of personal salvation but also the great obligation of social gospel," she said in her keynote address at the annual United Methodist Women Assembly. "And I took that very seriously and have tried, tried to be guided in my own life ever since as an advocate for children and families, for women and men around the world who are oppressed and persecuted, denied their human rights and human dignity."
Clinton told the 7,000 women who gave her a rousing welcome at the Kentucky International Convention Center that Methodist women know how to "get things done," including taking on the responsibility of serving their communities and the less fortunate.
"So it's really like a homecoming to be here with all of you from across our country and around the world to celebrate the great web of passion and connection that ties all Methodists together," she said. "To honor the good you are doing in your communities and that is being done through you throughout the world. To recommit ourselves to living the gospel and putting our faith into action."
Clinton referenced the conference's theme, "Make it Happen," saying it was apt because it's "what women do every day." She also referenced the biblical story of the loaves and fishes - "the first great potluck supper" - and said it contains a lesson on the responsibility of helping those in need.
"I think this is more important than ever," Clinton said. "We are living in a time when too many people feel disconnected, when too many of our neighbors are struggling to find their footing and follow their own dreams."
Clinton also spoke of how her faith shaped her as a child and the importance of the church she attended in Park Ridge, Ill. She was a member of the group that cleaned the altar before Sunday services, and Clinton said it made her feel as though she was part of the service. "I loved that church," she said. "I loved how it made me feel about myself. I loved the doors it opened to the understanding of the world. I loved how it deepened my faith."
Clinton said her parents had different ways of worshiping. She recalled how her father, a gruff, self-made, independent man, would pray before bed, "humble on his knees before God every night." Her mother taught Sunday school.
Growing up, Clinton said, she tried to reconcile her father's "self-reliance and independence" and mother's "concerns about social justice and compassion."

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers the keynote address to the United Methodist Women's Assembly at the Kentucky International Convention Center, Saturday, April 26, 2014, in Louisville, Ky.
Hillary Clinton delivered the keynote remarks at the United Methodist Women Conference in Louisville, Ky., this morning, where she spoke about the significant role that the Methodist church has had in her life, while calling on women to follow the gospel of the church and challenge themselves and others to get things done in their communities.
The event was of personal importance to Clinton, a longtime Methodist, who told the nearly 7,000 attendees that being at the conference felt like a sort of homecoming.
The former secretary of state who usually charges a high price these days for speaking engagements, did this one on her own dime. According to the United Methodist Women President Yvette Richards, who introduced Clinton as a daughter of the Methodist Church, Clinton waived her speaking fee for the organization and paid all her own travel expenses.
Throughout her remarks, Clinton described how her experiences growing up in a Methodist household, and the churchs call to service message, shaped her understanding of the injustices in the world and inspired her to pursue community work. She specifically cited her efforts in the State Department in which she helped disadvantaged women and children from around the world.
The potential 2016 presidential frontrunner also called on the women of the church to get their own hands dirty, urging them to participate in their communities and to defy glass ceilings, saying there are no limits on how far we can go.
During one of the most rousing moments in her remarks, Clinton told the audience that as women, we cannot wait for someone to solve our problems, adding that even when we are tired and all we want to do is go away to a secluded place and rest a while, it is important to roll up our sleeves and make it happen.
These sort of empowering remarks for women have been a reoccurring theme for Clinton lately, and as some have noted, sound almost like a personal pep talk perhaps for 2016.
On Wednesday, Clinton made comments at a womens conference in Boston where she hinted that advanced age was a reason to embrace older women in positions of authority. While she wasnt speaking about herself, per se, it raises the question that if shes preaching this, will she practice this?
