    Paper for the Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies, August 2007 History of Methodism Working Group

    Paper for the Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies, August 2007 History of Methodism Working Group A Calling to Fulfill: Women in 19th Century American Methodism Janie S. Noble In Luke’s account of the resurrection, it is women, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women who take the message of the empty tomb to the apostles (24:10).1 The Old and New Testaments provide other witnesses to women’s involvement in a variety of ministries; the roles for women in the church through time have been equally as varied. Regardless of the official position of the church regarding their roles, women have remained integral to continuation of our faith. Historical restrictions on the involvement of women have been justified both scripturally and theologically; arguments supporting their involvement find the same bases. Even women who stand out in history often did not challenge the practices of their times that confined women to home, family, or the convent. For example, Hildegard of Bingen is considered a model of piety and while she demonstrated courage in her refusal to bend to the demands of clergy, she was not an advocate of change or of elevation of women’s authority in the church. Patristic attitudes have deep roots in the Judeo-Christian traditions and continue to affect contemporary avenues of ministry available to women. Barriers for women in America began falling in the nineteenth century as women moved to increasingly visible activities outside the home. However, women’s ascent into leadership roles in the church that matched the roles of men was much slower than in secular areas.

    THOMAS COKE (1747-1814)­ HIS PERSONAL BACKGROUND* by John A

    THOMAS COKE (1747-1814)­ HIS PERSONAL BACKGROUND* By John A. Vickers No history of the Methodist mov,ement in the years immediately before and after John Wesley's death can be written without refer­ 1 ence to Thomas Coke, whose name has become something of a I. I household word in World Methodist circles. Though remembered especially as a pioneer of overseas missions, he also occupies an important niche in the early history of Wesleyan Methodism in both Europe and America. Yet it cannot be denied that Coke has, on the whole, had a "bad press" and that the admiration for his energy and devotion has usually been muted and hedged with qualifications. Quite apart from the treatment he has received in a long line of lives of Wesley, he has been singularly ill-served by his own biographers. Ev,en allowing for the concentration of Methodist scholarship on John Wesley, to the neglect of every other figure on the scene, it remains a curious fact that the only serious study of Coke to appear in the last hundred years is 'that by the American, Bishop W. A. Candler, in 1923. Before that, we have two early lives, by Jonathan Crowther, a friend and fellow-preacher (1815) and by . Samuel Drew, his official biographer (1817), and the solid but un­ documented volume of J. W. Etheridge (1860). The other, slighter studies that have appeared from time to time are largely derived from these.! Yet a considerable, if not overwhelming, volume of material, especially letters, has survived on both sides of the Atlan­ tic, and much of it rem,ains unpublished.

  • The Presentation of the Susanna Wesley Award of Excellence

    The Presentation of the Susanna Wesley Award of Excellence

    The presentation of the Susanna Wesley Award of Excellence Pastor or leader: Members of the household of God, we gather today to honor a woman who has given faithful service to the church and has lead others into a deeper understanding of the faith and service to Jesus Christ. The award we present this morning is called the Susanna Wesley Award of Excellence, named for the mother of John and Charles Wesley, the founders of the Methodist movement. Susanna married 26-year-old Samuel Wesley at age 19 and the couple had 19 children, nine of whom died in infancy. Susanna’s rectory home was burned down twice and Samuel once left her and the children for over a year because of a minor dispute. On two occasions, Samuel spent time in jail due to his inability to pay his bills. The lack of money was a continual struggle for Susanna. Yet, Susanna made certain her children were well educated and trained in the classics and the faith. At one point, while her husband was in London, some 250 people attended her afternoon Sunday school class. Susanna was a remarkable woman. The woman we honor this morning possesses many of the same characteristics of Susanna Wesley. She has a distinctive intellect, a nurturing sprit, unwavering devotion and perseverance in the faith. She has served Jesus Christ and the United Methodist Church in a manner similar to the mother of Methodism. <Name>, would you please come forward. <Name> on behalf of your friends and family and the entire congregation, I present you the Susanna Wesley Award of Excellence.

    Course Syllabus Winter 2010 PENTECOSTAL THEOLOGY PENT 0505 Five Fridays: Jan 22 | Feb 5 | Feb 19 | Mar 5 | Apr 2 9am – 4pm INSTRUCTOR: William A. Griffin Email: [email protected] Course Resource Page: http://class.tyndale.ca Office hours: By appointment I. COURSE DESCRIPTION An examination of classical Pentecostal theology with references to the early evangelical influences that contributed to its formation. Attention is given to the manner in which various Pentecostal emphases have been appropriated and developed within different charismatic settings. Evangelical individuals and groups provided the roots of what developed in the 20th century as a distinctive Pentecostal Theology. The unique doctrines which distinguish Pentecostalism from its evangelical cousins relate to the person and work of the Holy Spirit, particularly the baptism in the Spirit, speaking in other tongues, and the gifts of the Spirit. The course also includes an examination of several offshoots of Pentecostal theology such as the “prosperity gospel” and “apostolic renewal.” The goal of this course is to provide a forum for Pentecostals and non-Pentecostals to consider and assess the essential features of Pentecostalism, its orthodox roots, and its offspring groups. -1- II. LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. identify the basic elements of orthodox theology which Pentecostals hold in common with other Christian groups 2. understand the distinctive features in the broad spectrum of Pentecostal beliefs 3. appreciate the integration of spiritual experience and doctrinal expression 4. recognize the essence of spiritual empowerment in Pentecostal evangelism and missions 5. employ the Scriptures in both a directive and corrective manner in addressing theological issues in Pentecostal / charismatic belief and practice III.

    6th century mosaic, Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, Ravenna, Italy The Last Sunday after Pentecost Reign of Christ November 22, 2020 9 am Trinity Episcopal Church PO Box 387, 2631 Durham Road Buckingham, PA 18912 Phone: 215-794-7921 [email protected] Welcome to Trinity Church! Welcome to this gathering place, friend and stranger, saint and sinner. Come, with hope or hesitation; come with joy or yearning; all who hunger, all who thirst for life in all its fullness. May our generous God and our compassionate Savior and the life-giving Spirit bless you this day. We welcome you to Trinity Church and to this service. Offering our thanks and praise to our generous and loving Creator is a joyous occasion. Face-to-face worship during a global health crisis, however, presents some challenges. Your health and well-being is our highest priority. Love God by loving your neighbor! We ask that you: • Sit in the seat you to which you are directed by the usher • Wear a facemask at all times • Sing in your heart, but not with you voice • Remain facing forward as much as possible • Refrain from touching others. Exchange peace and greetings with your eyes • Keep 6 feet distance between you and others whenever possible • Observe the flow of “traffic”—use the center aisle to enter and exit by the side doors • Take all bulletins and trash with you at the close of worship For the time being, the nursery is closed. Children are very welcome in the sanctuary. A Children of All Ages Service, intentionally hospitable to young children, is offered outside at 10:30 am.

    The Free Presbyterian Magazine Vol 110 April 2005 No 4 Which Version?1 he shelves of today’s bookshops carry an almost endless variety of Bible Tversions. But how should we assess them? And should we assume that the newer the translation the better? The book under review should give considerable help to those who are asking these and similar questions. In his Preface, Mr Macgregor gives his own experience: “As a young Christian I went to a church that used the Authorised Version (AV). However, on moving with my wife and family to a different area, we went to a church that used the Good News Bible (GNB) and the New International Version (NIV). This enticed me away from the AV for a while. At first these new versions appeared to be easier to read and understand. However, soon I began to notice serious discrepancies (that is, Old Testament references to Christ veiled or missing) in the GNB. This troubled me greatly. I stopped using it, but continued with the NIV, which seemed more reliable. However, as I studied it and compared it with the AV I had first used, I began to feel concerned. The NIV had verses missing, and later I found it had many words missing. Its rendering of some parts gave a completely different meaning. The more I read and compared, the more concerned I became. Also, like the GNB, the NIV was more difficult to commit to memory. I bought a Revised Authorised Version (called in the USA, and now here, the New King James Version (NKJV)).
