  • Of the Church
    · .. __._--_._-------------------------------..,..- THE MET~IODIST DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH by Durward Hofler There is no Wesleyan doctrine of the church as such, for John Wesley unlike John Calvin did not undertake a systematic com­ pilation of his theology or his ecclesiology. The student must search for Wesley's understanding of the church in his doctrinal views. Accordingly, this study will be limited to what can be found about the doctrine of the church in Wesley's writings and in the history of American Methodism down to 1820. Inherent in Wesley's doctrine of the witness of the spirit is his view of the church. He made some affirmations concerning the witness of the spirit which throw light on his understanding of the church. Listed in the order of their importance to Wesley the affirmations are as follows. First, Wesley insisted that he had a divine call or mission to save souls. He wrote to James Hervey on March 20,1739: On scriptural principles I do not think it hard to justify whatever I do. God in scripture commands me, according to my power, to instruct the ignorant, reform the wicked, confirm the virtuous. Man forbids me to do this in another's parish: that is, in effect, to do it at all; seeing I have now no parish of my own, nor probably ever shall. Whom, then, shall I hear, God or man? A dispensation of the gospel is committed to me; and woe is me if I preach not the gospel. ...I look upon all the world as my parish.1 Obviously in citing scripture to justify action contrary to the will of his church, Wesley was indirectly saying that the salvation of souls takes precedence over church authority and practice.

The primary research question is defined as: “To what extent do the dialogues under analysis relate to Arminian soteriology?” By seeking an answer to this question, new knowledge is sought on the current soteriological position of the Methodist-Lutheran dialogues, the contemporary Methodist theology and the commonalities between the Lutheran and Arminian understanding of soteriology. This way the soteriological picture of the Methodist-Lutheran discussions is clarified. The dialogues under analysis were selected on the basis of versatility. Firstly, the sole world organisation level dialogue was chosen: The Church – Community of Grace. Additionally, the document World Methodist Council and the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is analysed as a supporting document. Secondly, a document concerning the discussions between two main-line churches in the United States of America was selected: Confessing Our Faith Together.

  • ECCLESIASTICAL* on December 24, 1784
    r I I ') ,tII Methodist History, 23:1 (October 1984) I I 11,J BALTIM0 RE 1784-HISTORICAL-THEOLOGICAL­ ! ECCLESIASTICAL* K. JAMES STEIN On December 24, 1784 some sixty Methodist preachers gathered on invitation at their Lovely Lane Chapel in Baltimore, Maryland for what j would prove to be a critically important gathering for their small but 1 rapidly growing movement in America. By the time the conference ended ;1 .1 on January 2, 1785 it had created an independent church with its own fully , I ordained ministry, sacramental life, formalized liturgy, doctrinal norms, q h 'I~ ,I ethical standards, and a sharply-defined sense of mission for the future. I :! ,I In many ways this was not an auspicious gathering. Its setting was not ! j elaborate. The little stone chapel, which no longer remains, was extremely , i plain, except for its arched windows. Especially for the comfort of the ;i .. i." preachers, the congregation had placed a large wood stove in the building and added backs to the benches in anticipation of the long conference session. 1 Moreover, most of the participants at the conference were dis­ tinguished in neither learning nor experience. Only a few had received a classical education and could read the Scriptures in the original languages, although a number of them were self-taught. Beyond that, most of them were not old enough to be well-experienced in ministry. Thomas Coke wrote at the time: "I admire the body of American preachers.... They are 'j" ~' I indeed a body of devoted, disinterested men, but most of them young."2 , .t-' I,,,; " ·1 One analysis of the preachers present suggested that only seven of these ::';1 men had itinerated as much as eight years.

  • Forever Beginning 3
    Forever Beginning 3 FOREVER BEGINNING by Stephen W. Barninger, 1966 [editor’s note: This paper was prepared for the Bicentennial Oratorical Contest for senior high youth sponsored by the Conference Historical Society in connection with the celebration of the Bicentennial of American Methodism held at the 1966 annual conference. The 1966 date uses the 1766 preaching of Philip Embury in New York as the start of Methodism in America, but it has since been established that Robert Strawbridge began the work a few years earlier in Maryland.] We can trace our American Methodist heritage back to the fall of 1735, when General James Oglethorpe, founder of the colony of Georgia, made known his need for a clergyman in his American settlement. John Wesley was the answer to this need. Thus, he sailed from Gravesend, England, in October of that same year. When John arrived in America in February of 1736, accompanied by his brother Charles, he made a very auspicious beginning. The people looked forward to the blessings of an ordained ministry, and Wesley had great anticipation of converting many Indians in the immediate area of the infant colony. But time proved this enthusiasm to be transitory, and within the period of one year John Wesley returned to England a discouraged and disheartened man, realizing that he didn’t possess the very gift that he had hoped to give. Yet when his successor George Whitefield came onto the American scene, he was led to make this statement: “The good John Wesley has done in America is inexpressible. His name is very precious among the people, and he has laid a foundation that I hope neither man nor devils will ever be able to shake.” And so one disheartened, weary and undone John Wesley struck the spark which strangely warmed the hearts of people now some ten million strong.

  • 1 Why a New Book of Discipline?
    Why A New Book of Discipline? The Book of Discipline has served as the covenanting principles of the Methodist Church since its inception at the Christmas Conference in 1784, and of the United Methodist Church following the merger with the United Brethren Church and Methodist Church in 1968. The creation of The Connection, a new Discipline is an audacious proposal in the face of this long history and tradition. It begs the question: Why is a new Discipline necessary and desirable? You probably already know how challenging it can be to read, understand and find things in The current Book of Discipline. It wasn’t always this complicated. The Book of Discipline has grown by 2000% since 1828 and an additional 500% since 1960. Already the next general conference has 15% more legislation than the 2016 general conference to consider. These additions are now adding more rules and less innovation and fewer people on the Wesleyan Path, more hierarchy and less local decision making and fewer decisions to follow Jesus Christ. What kind of Discipline do you want? Would you want a book that was simplified, easy to read, and helps you find what you are looking for and wouldn’t require a lawyer, parliamentarian or course in polity to understand it? Imagine a simpler and clearer book that celebrates our rich Wesleyan theology, history and methods for being the church without watering it down by continually adding procedure and process. Does it feel like the denomination works for the local church, or does it feel like the congregation exists to work for the denomination? Imagine a book that sees the congregation as the primary unit for mission, and the denomination as a structure to support congregations.

  • Supervisor, Women's Missionary Society Presiding Bishop
    Presiding Bishop Supervisor, Women’s Missionary Society Grace and Peace to the African Methodist Episcopal Church in this Bicentennial Year! Dr. Susan and I have been honored to serve the Thirteenth Episcopal District in this quadrennium. We are grateful for the love and cooperation of the people who helped to make our efforts fruitful and our burdens light. Like many places throughout our Zion, the 13th District is a place of significant demographic and ecclesiastical shifts. Some rural places have found a stable equilibrium, but most suffer from the effects of aging and shrinking populations. Young people move away, and local economies change. Older urban populations also are in the midst of transitions which often leave historical denominational strongholds abandoned in areas which are no longer fertile for the stronger ministries we offer. Changing locations and re-tooling our ministries require tremendous investments of analysis and adaptation. This comes at a time when the general population finds less interest in mainline denominations. Nevertheless, we are beginning to address these challenges, and we thank God for insight and direction. We appreciate the 13th District for stepping out in new directions and allowing us to experiment with innovative approaches to denominational ministry. While many of these initiatives are still maturing, we are pleased with some of the initial results. Annual Conference and District meetings are shorter to accommodate economic realities and those with secular employment. We have minimized the receiving of offerings in District and Annual Conference meetings. Supporting the work through reports from church has afforded greater Efficiency and Accountability. It has also given us an opportunity to encourage the support of the local church.
