Author’s insights

In his sermon, The Scripture Way of Salvation, John Wesley summarized the goal of genuine Christian religion: ‘The end is, in one word, salvation.’ Though brief, we need to understand that in its broadest sense, Wesley understood salvation as the entire redeeming work of God in a human life, ‘from the first dawning of grace in the soul, till it is consummated in glory.’

THE WESLEYAN JOURNEY: A Workbook on Salvation Maxie Dunnam

S

E SS

IO N

S

Salvation through grace. This was a central theme of John Wesley’s life and work. The Wesleyan Journey explores his understanding of the Holy Spirit’s transformational work in the life of a believer and invites readers to spend time every day exploring salvation through prayer, study, and reflection. Based on Wesley’s theology and the Bible’s teaching on what it means to be saved, this eight-week study will help readers consider anew God’s ever-present grace, the experience of acceptance, pardon, and forgiveness, and the lifelong journey to become more Christ-like.

THE WESLEY PRAYER CHALLENGE: 21 Days to a Closer Walk

with Christ Chris Folmsbee

The Wesley Covenant Prayer has been used in Methodist services around the world on the first Sunday of the year since John Wesley introduced it in 1755.

Wesley expected the people would pray this prayer as a way of remembering, renewing, and surrendering themselves in complete trust to God. When we pray it, we are to remember what living like Jesus looks like and what loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind and loving our neighbor as ourselves requires of us.

THE WESLEY CHALLENGE:

21 Days to a More Authentic Faith Chris Folmsbee

Each day’s reading includes Scripture, prayer and a challenge for daily life.

Additional components for a three-week study include a comprehensive leader guide, a DVD featuring author Chris Folmsbee, and a youth study guide for grades 6–12.

About the book

There was a time when we took discipleship for granted. We assumed that we could persuade someone to believe and that each person would step into the path that took them to Jesus. We can’t make that assumption anymore.

As early as the Gospels, Jesus and his biographers recognize that each person brings experience to the journey, which travels through different times and places. By understanding what type of disciple you are, you can clarify the path you need to walk.

Live and walk on the unique path Jesus is calling you to follow as a disciple NEW

GOSPEL DISCIPLESHIP: 4 Pathways for Christian Disciples

IO N

S

Each individual brings a unique set of skills and gifts to the mission field and therefore needs to understand what type of disciple he or she is. Similarly, no two churches are the same; each congregation has a unique mission field and needs an equally unique way to engage members in discipleship.

With Gospel Discipleship, individuals and congregations learn how to engage in self-reflection, which can then help them define a path to discipleship that fits their context. The Participant Guide is designed to provide individuals with assessment tools to help them clarify their path…do they like to go on mission trips…do they thrive on learning from a great teacher…do they connect to God through painting and music? The Congregation Guide, a resource that functions as a program leader guide, helps assess and define discipleship paths for a church as a whole. The two guides provide the encouragement your church needs to step beyond the door and into the actual mission field.

Wouldn’t it be fascinating to attend a Bible study led by John Wesley? Scripture and the Wesleyan Way is an eight-week study that’s the next best thing.

The Bible was central to John Wesley’s faith and the Christian movement he founded. Scott J. Jones and his son Arthur D. Jones use Wesley’s own words to address questions that many of us in the twenty-first century still struggle with today. Each chapter explores a key Scripture text and one of Wesley’s sermons about the text in order to illuminate his understanding about what it means to be a real Christian. You will be inspired to respond to this call with faith and boldness.

Additional components include a DVD featuring the authors and a comprehensive Leader Guide.

We’re used to answers popping up on a screen right in front of us. But when the questions examine the truths that give meaning and purpose to life, finding the answers takes more than simply typing a few words and pushing a button.

Adam Hamilton believes that powerful answers to many of our complicated questions are contained in the Apostles’ Creed, an early statement of foundational Christian beliefs. In Creed, he explores not only what Christians believe, but also why they believe, and why it matters, which in turn leads readers to confront and examine their own core beliefs and go beyond reciting the Creed’s familiar words. The book is part of a six-week churchwide program includes a Leader Guide, DVD, youth and children resources, and a Leader Kit (includes “I Believe” card pack).

Small Group Experience Kevin M. Watson

IO N

Dr. Kevin Watson has written a fresh guide to the theory and practice of the Wesley class meeting, an essential element of truly Wesleyan spirituality. This book is for clergy and congregations who are looking for ways to develop deeper discipleship. The class meeting is made workable without losing its essential dynamic as a gospel-based accountable community. Watson has resurrected the class meeting and given it new meaning, showing its relevance for the church today and how it may be a perfect means for church renewal.

Watson’s book unfolds a vision and a practical strategy for developing small groups that are much simpler than the typical group, while being more productive and with greater spiritual depth.

The Class Meeting is structured into an eight-week study resource designed for a small group to work through together. Along the way, your group will be progressively equipped with a shared language to talk about the work of the Holy Spirit in the inner person and a structure for holding these kinds of meetings. After eight weeks, the book is laid aside and the class meeting is born.

Church & Culture Coming out into one’s authentic, God-created self OUR STRANGELY WARMED HEARTS: Coming Out into Gods Call Karen P. Oliveto

In The United Methodist Church (and other Christian denominations), it is difficult or impossible for lesbian, gay, transsexual, and bisexual clergy or laity to become a visible and outward channel for God’s saving grace. Our Strangely Warmed Hearts, which borrows its title from John Wesley’s description of how he felt when he discovered his spiritual identity, traces the history of the church’s struggle with homosexuality. These are deeply rooted issues based on whether the Scripture is interpreted as a means of grace or as a rule book.

These different interpretations have ultimately shaped the church’s response. You’ll hear first-person accounts from LGBTQ persons who are faithfully serving in a denomination that denies their calls and—in some cases—their presence. From their stories you’ll learn how coming-out is a deeply spiritual process that has led them to recognize they are, indeed, authentic, God-created, and graced selves.

From the Faultlines collection, resources intended to inform conversations around human sexuality and the church.

Church & Culture How the Methodists fought institutional racism in their Alabama churches GO AND BE RECONCILED: Alabama Methodists Confront Racial Injustice, 1954–1974

William Nicholas

During the climactic years of the civil rights movement in the Deep South, a closely related struggle was going on within The United Methodist Church. That denomination was slowly moving toward integration under mandate from its national governing body, The United Methodist Church General Conference. But in Alabama, external institutional pressures and even internal constituencies were not strong enough to break down the segregated church structure: doing that would require a significant shift in the leadership of the church.

The story is one in which an institution based on the moral teachings of Christianity confronted the immorality of racism and legal segregation within its own ranks while it continued to operate within a racially divided larger society. Against the backdrop of the tumultuous events of the civil rights struggle, the North Alabama Conference and its counterpart in South Alabama carried on a spirited and often bitter debate over the existence of a completely separate conference for their black membership.

This book tells the inside story of the struggle within the North Alabama Conference for the first time by utilizing the publications and official archives of the church, plus interviews with a wide spectrum of Methodists, including those who served in roles of leadership and those who were simply faithful members of their respective churches. In the end, the integration of the church was finally realized as a result of the daring leadership of a single bishop who challenged the prevailing white segregationist laity, Kenneth Goodson. But along the way there were many other persons who risked their careers and even their personal safety on behalf of racial justice. This is their story as well.

Church & Culture Insights into possible directions for The United Methodist Church WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? Honest Responses From Twenty-Four United Methodist Leaders compiled by Kevin Slimp

Following the February 2019 session of The United Methodist General Conference, many United Methodists returned to their Sunday School classes, worship services, and small groups, asking the same question: “Where do we go from here?”

In Where Do We Go From Here? Honest Responses From Twenty-Four United Methodist Leaders, bishops, pastors, laypersons, campus ministers, students, general board directors, and others share their honest responses to the question, “Where do we go from here?”

Voices from the traditional, centrist, and progressive viewpoints share their thoughts on where their church is and where it should go from here. Thought-provoking, inspiring, and sometimes troubling, this book offers individuals and groups a place to better understand what United Methodist leaders are thinking in this crucial time.

Several authors revised their material to include last-minute information concerning the Judicial Council rulings in late April.

For Christians, the word “requiem” is not about death; it heralds the promise of resurrection and power of life. What Methodist communities of faith now see as our troubles can give us new opportunities to seize God’s promises and be strengthened by the mission to which God calls us. Our mission will endure.

Theology Countering four dangerous trends with four Wesleyan practices ACTIVE FAITH: Resisting 4 Dangerous Ideologies with the Wesleyan Way Paul W. Chilcote

Christians are invited to practice the way of Jesus by engaging in four formative practices representing central themes of the Wesleyan way: humility, hospitality, healing, and holiness. These four practices function as counterpoints to four growing dangers based on fear in the contemporary church and in society: Christian fundamentalism, Nationalism, Dispensationalism, and Antinomianism. Each of the four practices is an antidote related to the quest for a particular virtue as well, namely, truth, joy, peace, and love in resistance to these dangerous movements.

Each of the four chapters discusses the relationship of these practices to Scripture, identifying a signature biblical text or story related to each. They introduce the reader to a spiritual mentor who can help them understand and embrace the practice more fully. They describe contemporary forms of Christianity that distort or compromise our received faith tradition, directing their attention to a contemporary issue in which these distortions figure prominently and in which a progressive Wesleyan perspective offers an alternative vision of Christian authenticity. Finally, the chapters offer guidance showing how readers can engage in these practices on a very practical level.

BORN AGAIN: The Evangelical Theology of Conversion in John Wesley and George Whitefield

Sean McGever

The gospel message is simple but not simplistic. Learning the gospel and its implications is a lifelong process, but modern evangelicals are often too focused on the moment of conversion while ignoring the ongoing work of sanctification. For John Wesley and George Whitefield, justification and sanctification were inseparable.

In Born Again, Sean McGever maps Wesley’s and Whitefield’s theologies of conversion, reclaiming the connection between justification and sanctification. This study helps evangelicals reassess their thin understanding of conversion, leading to a rich and full picture of the ongoing work new Christians face.

History Acquainting Methodists with the story of their own history & doctrine THE METHODIST STORY: Volume 1, 1703–1791 Donald W. Haynes

The catholic spirit has held Methodists together through many divisive issues. In this current context, it seems appropriate to renew laity and clergy acquaintance with “the way it was,” as we seek our way forward. Our hope is to fulfill Mr. Wesley’s admonition that “though we may not think alike, we can love alike.” This is not an attempt to “white-wash” the many splendored story, nor to deny the vision, energy, and spirituality of our leaders and “foot soldiers.” This version of The Methodist Story both applauds our noble past and is candid in recognizing the human frailty of our leaders in every generation.

In this first of two volumes, we review John Wesley and his family, and Methodism as a movement in England within the context of the eighteenth century. Volume I includes Mr. Wesley’s eventual ordination of clergy to form a new American Church. It ends at an arbitrary date, John Wesley’s death on March 2, 1791.

History A mother’s influence on a worldwide Christian movement FROM A MOTHER’S PEN: Selections from the Spiritual Writing of Susanna Wesley

Charles I. Wallace

Susanna Wesley’s reputation has traditionally been “fame by association,” primarily as the mother of John and Charles Wesley, the most prominent of the founders of the worldwide Christian movement of Methodism. But Susanna was an accomplished writer, practical theologian, dedicated teacher, and principled churchwoman, deeply devoted to God. In this anthology, we not only get a glimpse of the triumphs and authentic struggles of a woman in the eighteenth century, but also find resonance and inspiration for our own life’s journey today.

Each extract from Susanna’s extensive penning of journal entries, letters, and advice to her children is set briefly in context. A product of her time and yet ahead of it, Susanna Wesley (1669–1742) is celebrated here in her own right—and through her own writing: • her own accounts of the turning points in her life, including the fire that ravaged the family home in Epworth • her engagement with the intellectual and spiritual thinkers of her day • her motherly wisdom to her three sons and seven daughters • her meditations and spiritual reflections.

These extracts were chosen and set in context by the Reverend Dr. Charles I. Wallace, Jr., foremost expert and transcriber of Susanna Wesley’s writings, to commemorate the 350th anniversary of her birth.

GOD WILL MAKE A WAY

Spiritual Life and Leadership in a Contested Season Ken Carter In God Will Make a Way, Bishop Ken Carter shares reflections from his journey from the 2016 General Conference, through his leadership in The Way Forward, his role as Presiding Bishop, into the special 2019 Conference and culminating in the 2020 General Conference. The book is both a spiritual journey and an inside view of one of the most tumultuous periods of national and denominational history.

Carter casts his personal spiritual reflections against a backdrop of life-shaping events—the first Way Forward meeting, the tragedy at Mother Emmanuel, interactions with Miroslav Volf and other theologians, the Pulse shootings, and more. Throughout, the high points are experiences and conversations between people, often from dramatically different stances, who find common ground, new understanding and hope while the dark times are from conflict inspired anger, national violence and shaken hope.

The meaning and understanding of Carter’s story requires the reader to share the context of the times both in the Church and the nation. Throughout the chapters, the design includes news stories, agendas, photos and other design elements to show the intertwining of the events.

THE METHODIST DEFENSE OF WOMEN IN MINISTRY: A Documentary History

Paul W. Chilcote

John Wesley promoted the ministry of women in early Methodism. Amazing women like Phoebe Palmer, Catherine Booth, and Frances Willard—founding figures in the holiness movement, the Salvation Army, and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union—claimed biblical precedent for their groundbreaking ministries. They withstood the onslaught of criticism and hostility from those who thought they had stepped out of their proper sphere. Methodists have championed the cause of women and developed biblical, spiritual, and practical arguments for their ministry for two and a half centuries. More than fifty documents from the history of Methodism chronicle the tortuous journey leading to biblical equality in this family of churches.

At a time when the ministry of women is under serious attack in a number of quarters, yet again, we all have much to learn from the witness of Wesleyan Christians who argued for women’s ministry. This story illustrates how faithful women, when they knew they had the Lord’s approval, stood “like the beaten anvil to the stroke.” Courage. Defiance. Perseverance. Faithfulness. These qualities define the Methodist defense of women in ministry.

Official Resources THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH MEMBERSHIP RECORDS MANUAL 2017–2020: For Pastor, Membership Secretary, Church Secretary, Chairperson, and Others

The task of the church is to reach out to people and receive them in the name of Jesus Christ, to help them relate to God, to nurture and strengthen them in their journey of discipleship, and to send them into the world to live transformed and transforming lives. The United Methodist Membership Records System supports these pastoral concerns. Using the forms and procedures described in this manual will enable your church to maintain excellent membership records, which will be the source of vital information used by pastors, witness ministry chairpersons, evangelism chairpersons, and other church leaders for effective ministries to make disciples. It will also help the pastor and staff meet the membership record-keeping and reporting requirements of The Book of Discipline.

This manual includes background, purpose, and value for keeping membership records for care and outreach; FAQs on records required by The Book of Discipline 2016; tips on how to close gaps in your membership records; and a sample of each membership record sheet with instructions.
