Last night the pastor of the church where I preached made an earnest speech about his Sunday school and the District Superin­ tendent who sat by me said, “No man will want for material for his church who is able to build a Sunday school.” Of course a preacher who can build a Sunday school must also have ability to do a great many other things, for building a Sunday school is not the simple thing it may sound to be.

  • CHRISTIAN IDENTITY: WHAT DOES IT MEAN to BE an EVANGELICAL? Ramón A
    1 CHRISTIAN IDENTITY: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN EVANGELICAL? Ramón A. Sierra Discipleship Coordinator for the MAC (México & Central America) Region What does it mean to be an Evangelical? an important and necessary question. John Stott begins the preface of his book Evangelical Truth , stating, "Nobody likes to be labeled. Since the labels others place on us are not normally compliments. Often the purpose of labels is to limit us, and even restrict us, to a narrow description that does not allow us to assume who we are” 1 This is true in spite of the latent prejudices that go along with identifying ourselves as evangelicals in many of our Latin American countries. I consider it beneficial that Latin American Nazarenes explore some hidden implications beneath the question concerning our evangelical identity. As we contemplate the question, what is an evangelical? We need to realize that we would like to refer to instead of individual evangelicals to the evangelical church in its corporate dimension. We will also be focusing on the evangelical church in our Latin American context. However, it is even more relevant for us that we will be looking at our Church of the Nazarene within the evangelical movement in Latin America. Finally, we would like to reflect on the church today towards the future. So as we attempt to answer the question, what is an evangelical?, my approach will be to give a general description taking into consideration these specific elements. What we are sure of is the need and relevancy of together carrying out an auto- introspection about our evangelical identity.

  • A Curriculum for Pastors on Nazarene Roots
    Nazarene Roots: Pastors, Prophets, Revivalists, & Reformers By Stan Ingersol Study Guide by Judi King How This Guide May Help You This guide is divided into seven sessions. Because they are meant primarily to be used by pastors for individual reflection, feel free to work through them at your own speed. A suggested plan is to set aside an hour once a week for each session. You may also wish to use this guide with the pastoral team. In that case, plan to meet once a week to discuss the questions together. You may want to ask the team to answer the questions on their own during the week prior to meeting, and then discuss your reflections when the whole team meets together. If you use this study guide in a group setting, you may find that there are many more questions given than you can possibly discuss in one group meeting. Feel free to select the questions you want participants to discuss, or take more weeks to work through these sessions. Except for the introduction, the questions are drawn mainly from the book, with supplemental materials taken from the accompanying DVD: “Reflecting on Our Nazarene Heritage—A Roundtable Discussion,” featuring Paul Bassett, Stan Ingersol, Tom Noble, and Janine Metcalf. You will want to watch the DVD prior to beginning the study. The DVD contains about 4 hours of material, including individual interviews with each of the panelists. It will be helpful to review the DVD several times during this course of study as well. It is recommended that you keep a study journal for reflections, responses, comments, and questions.

Stanley 74 Editor Paul Merritt Bassett Digital texts copyright 2008 Wesley Center Online http://wesley.nnu.edu ANTI-ORDINANCE: A PROTO-PENTECOSTAL PHENOMENON? by Charles Edwin Jones Both the Holiness and Pentecostal movements have roots in the popular romanticism1 of the late nineteenth century. In their brightest moments, the Spirit-directed impulse springing from it has impelled them to the heroic as they have spread the gospel "in the slums, and in the jungles," and throughout "all the world."2 In darker moments, the same impulse fueled by arrogance, ignorance, and manipulation of scriptural texts and church authority, has brought the cause into disrepute. Having died as an heretical Holiness ideology, did Anti-ordinance reappear as an attitudinal aberration in Pentecostalism? Hereditary traits, in religious movements as in men, are difficult to trace with precision. In movements, inheritance from parent to child is obscured further by the fact that always there is a dominant parent, and one or more other, less dominant. Estrangement between mother and child, as in the case of the Holiness and Pentecostal movements, and the interweaving of regressive and positive traits have caused historians of both movements largely to ignore a dark aspect of this inheritance the Anti-ordinance phenomenon.

  • WHAT IS the CHURCH? TOWARD a WESLEYAN ECCLESIOLOGY Deirdre Brower Latz Nazarene Theological College, Manchester
    WHAT IS THE CHURCH? TOWARD A WESLEYAN ECCLESIOLOGY Deirdre Brower Latz Nazarene Theological College, Manchester At the very beginning of discussions centred on the ideas of ‘One Lord, One faith, One Baptism: Unity and Diversity in our Wesleyan Theological Tradition’ it seems appropriate to grapple with the question: ‘What is the Church?’ and to attempt to move towards an understanding of ecclesiology that can truly claim to be Wesleyan. Only on the basis of such an ecclesiological analysis can the International Church of the Nazarene intentionally develop and shape her ministry, pedagogy, and missiology in a way that is true to her roots, that makes best use and sense of her historical resources, and thus provide the best hope for the future. Such an analysis however, must be careful to make several distinctions. First, the question of any ecclesiology is too broad to be fully or easily determined, and the “nature, form and function of the Christian Church” (Snyder, 1996, 67) are all encompassed within any true understanding of ecclesiology. Second, Wesley is slippery(!), and the various Wesleyan ecclesiological trajectories, though related through the Wesley gene-pool, are not necessarily all co-equal inheritors of Wesley’s fullest understanding of the Church. It is the understanding of this paper that in this setting, our shared assumptions are at least as follows: a) we are inheritors of Wesleyan theology, b) being Wesleyan is positive, c) we have different understandings of church, Wesley, and Wesleyanism which are culturally and educationally formed, d) we share a vocabulary which will enable us to be in genuine conversation despite our differences.

  • Who Are the Nazarenes?
    Part 1 Who Are the Nazarenes? M They Shared a Dream: The Launching of the Nazarene Movement M What Nazarenes Believe and Practice 11 At a Glance They Shared a Dream: The Launching of the Nazarene Movement Historical Background From roots in the Wesleyan revival in eighteenth-century England, the Holiness Movement blossomed in America. Wesleyan-Holiness denomi- nations sprang up in every section of the country. Three such denomina- tions joined in 1907 (in Chicago) and 1908 (in Pilot Point, Texas) to form the Church of the Nazarene. Key leaders were Phineas F. Bresee, C. B. Jernigan, Hiram F. Reynolds, and C. W. Ruth, among others. Core Beliefs The dream that drew the founders together was a believers’ church in the Wesleyan tradition. This was fleshed out with firm beliefs deeply rooted in orthodox Christianity. Traditional doctrines marked the new Nazarene denomination. These included the inspiration of the Bible, the Holy Trinity, the deity of Christ, and some basic Protestant principles: Scripture as the final rule of Christian faith and practice, salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and the priesthood of all believers. The Wesleyan doctrine of salvation, including the entire sanctification of believers, became the foundation for theology, worship, evangelism, nurture, service, and church administration. The new denomination also stressed education, ordination of women, solidarity with the poor, daily holy living that avoided wicked or worldly practices, and a commitment to world evangelization. 12 The Nazarene founders created a believers’ church rooted firmly in the Wesleyan tradition. M M M one They Shared a Dream The Launching of the Nazarene Movement Nineteenth-century America was a hotbed of religious chaos.

  • Church of the Nazarene FOREWORD Theological Tradition ARTICLES
    12/27/2017 Official creed of Church of the Nazarene Church of the Nazarene The Manual FOREWORD The General Assembly is the supreme doctrine-formulating and lawmaking body of the Church of the Nazarene. This Manual contains the decisions and judgments of ministerial and lay delegates of the Twenty-first General Assembly, which met in Anaheim, Calif, June 23-38, 1985, and is therefore authoritative as a guide for action, Because it is the official statement of the faith and practice of the church and is consistent with the teachings of the Scriptures, we expect our people every where to accept the tenets of doctrine and the guides and helps to holy living contained in it. To fail to do so, after formally taking the membership vows of the Church of the Nazarene injures the witness of the church, violates her conscience, and dissipates the fellowship of the people called Nazarenes. With the Bible as our supreme Guide, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, and the Manual as our official agreed-upon statement of faith, practice, and polity, we look forward to the new quadrennium with joy and unswerving faith in Jesus Christ. The Board of General Superintendents Theological Tradition The Church of the Nazarene is the largest denomination in the Wesleyan-Arminian (Holiness) theological tradition. ARTICLES OF FAITH: I. THE TRIUNE GOD We believe in one eternally existent, infinite God, Sovereign of the universe; that He only is God, creative and administrative, holy in nature, attributes, and purpose; that He, as God, is Triune in essential being, revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, 1983 FRANCIS ASBURY: PREACHER OF HOLINESS 16 Too many today have substituted an office for the study. The study is the mountaintop where the minister has a vision of lost humanity; of the crucified and resurrected Lord; of burdened, suf­ fering, sin-sick people. The study is the minis­ ter's inner secret room where he keeps tryst with his Lord Jesus Christ. It is his holy of holies. Mere he will meet God! Here or nowhere! Here he is to receive uplifting and inspiration. Here he will be caught up into the third heav­ en. Here he will bring to God the needs of his people— their hunger, their battles, their de­ feats, and their heartaches.
