The Rev. Gilbert H. Caldwell answers questions during a panel discussion in Fort Worth, Texas, during the 2008 United Methodist General Conference.

Rev. Gil Caldwell held Dual Covenant status with the United Methodist Church and the Church Within a Church Movement.

He writes:

I believe my possessing Dual Covenant status is a way of publicly saying that although I am not separating from the United Methodist Church, my “personal (faith) integrity” compels me to relate to a faith community, CWACM, which affirms and gives witness to authentic inclusivity.

He is the author of Something Within and was a co-participant in Truth in Progress.

He is the inspiration and namesake for CWACM's Gilbert H. Caldwell Justice Ministry Award.

Gil died September 4, 2020. See Remembering Gil Caldwell for more information.
