Carden, Jr., President Historical Society of the United Methodist Notes from Nancy… “Are you settled in yet?” These days that qualifies as the most frequently asked question. The answer? Yes and no. All of the collections are here and I feel truly at home in the new space, but if you have ever moved you know that the “settling in” process takes a while. The movers were fantastic and I would definitely recommend them, but when they were packing they didn’t take note of the fact that many of the top shelves were empty or contained small, lightweight items. So, of course, although everything is in exactly the same order as before, the records that I reference most often ended up on those top shelves. My husband and I are working together to gradually make the necessary adjustments. And then there’s the office. To be honest, I wouldn’t quite trust an archivist with a truly tidy office because working with archives is just plain messy! But as I explain to visitors, the stacks of file folders do change from day to day as records are brought in, researched and/or organized, and returned to the shelves. Beside that, there is the process of moving from one computer network to another, setting up and learning a new email address, a new telephone number, new computer software, and, eventually, creating a website for the Heritage Center. All while responding to the usual requests for information, giving visitors tours around the “new digs,” working with confirmation groups each weekend, and preparing for a busy summer season. But, really, all is well with the Heritage Center and I look forward to the exciting opportunities that are ahead. Thanks to all who have offered words of support and encouragement.

  • The Social Soteriology of John Wesley and Its Communitarian, Arminian and Public Elements
    The social soteriology of John Wesley and its comuni- tarian, arminian and public elements: comments on its development, purpose, inspirations, and spirituality Helmut Renders 1 The intention of using the term social soteriology is an attempt to combine a common concept in Wesleyan studies – that John Wesley is best understood as primarily con- cerned with soteriology – with a fresh look at the wide range of the meaning of the word “social”. This is done because the major agreement regarding the centrality of soteriology in Wesley has been unable to relate the different perspectives toward a united effort to promote and proclaim salvation in an integral way. Without a doubt, for many the use of the adjective “social” may simply indicate that the author of this article is putting empha- sis on diacony or public religion. Although the word “social” includes these meanings, it is much richer than this and has been used in Wesleyan and Methodist history in different moments to mark a certain type of Wesleyan imagery.2 As such, it seems appropriate to rethink this tradition and offer a re-reading of those aspects that we can easily combine with the metaphor of “social” and study their contributions to Wesleyan soteriology. 3 To do so, we shall challenge some customary reading of Wesleyan, in the first place, the popular biographic method of periodization which emerges more from a type of bio- graphic reinterpretation and reconfirmation of contemporary theologies than from a his- toric hermeneutic. Differently we shall re-link certain periods of his life by its under- standing as sedimentation of experience as a more appropriate way to understand the con- tinuous construction of Wesleyan soteriology as social soteriology.

  • A History of the First United Methodist Church Dalton, Georgia
    FLAGSHIP IN THE FOREST: A History of the First United Methodist Church Dalton, Georgia Horton Hassell Herrin FLAGSHIP IN THE FOREST: A History of the First United Methodist Church, Dalton, Georgia INTRODUCTION In a 2011 interview with Dr. Robin L Lindsey, Senior Pastor of Dalton First United Methodist Church, I asked him if there had been anything about this church of which he had been aware before being assigned here. He said yes, that even when he was a student at Emory University in 1978, Dalton First was recognized as a flagship church. Asked to clarify that term, he indicated the reference is to a church, not necessarily large, but which has a regional presence. Similar comments had been made earlier. Dalton First was a flagship of the conference. “It was the largest congregation north of Cobb County, and west of Gainesville,” wrote Senior Pastor J.B. McNeil in his report in 1994. He cited its leadership in membership, financial support of ministry locally, the conference, and general church ministries. The report mentioned the finest facilities to be found. “All goals were being met or worked on,” he continued. Flagship churches have a history of significant pastors. They clearly know that an assignment here is a positive career statement. This continues even today. A flagship, in naval parlance, is one on which the commander of the fleet has his headquarters and staff. The flagship is the leader of the fleet, giving command and control to all subordinate units. To carry this analogy a bit further, the Senior Pastor sets the course of the Church.

    The Religious Architecture of Paul Rudolph Daniel L. Ledford Yale Divinity School Reading Course, Fall 2014 Karla Britton December 16, 2014 Ledford 2 Introduction Paul Marvin Rudolph (1918-1997), one of the most influential and controversial late Modern American architects,1 is known for his public building commissions (Temple Street Parking Garage and Yale Art and Architecture Building in New Haven, CT; Orange County Government Building in Goshen, NY; Boston Government Services Center, Blue Cross-Blue Shield Building, Jewett Arts Center at Wellesley College, and UMass-Dartmouth Campus in/near Boston, MA; Riverview High School in Sarasota, FL; and his later work in Southeast Asia, including The Concourse and The Colonnade in Singapore and the Lippo (Bond) Centre in Hong Kong) and private residences inside and outside of Florida (Milam Residence in Jacksonville, FL; Walker Guest House on Sanibel Island, FL; Healy Guest House and Hook Guest House in Sarasota, FL; Wallace House in Athens, AL; Sid Bass Residence in Fort Worth, TX; Micheels Residence in Westport, CT; and Rudolph’s own residence at 23 Beekman Place in New York City).2 Rudolph’s architecture was always in conversation with, what he believed to be, the shortcomings of Modernism and his view of urbanism.3 What is missing from the above list of notable works by Rudolph are his religious buildings.

  • Chapter I: INTRODUCTION
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Humility as a Key Component of John Wesley’s Understanding of a Christian’s Spiritual Development A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By SunAe Lee-Koo Washington, D.C. 2011 Humility as a Key Component of John Wesley’s Understanding of a Christian’s Spiritual Development SunAe Lee-Koo, Ph. D. Director: James A. Wiseman, O.S.B., S.T.D. Due to a series of theological controversies John Wesley was involved in, interpretations of Wesley’s sermons have dealt with many important theological topics, but the role of humility as applicable to a Christian’s journey of holiness has been largely ignored. The major purpose of this dissertation is to fill this lacuna by exploring the idea of humility as a crucial element in Wesley’s understanding of the entire process of spiritual restoration of the imago Dei. This task involves broadening our understanding of humility in its various aspects, self-knowledge in particular. Humility begins in the awareness of one’s spiritual status as being created according to the imago Dei. However, this image was lost by original sin and we are now on a journey of restoring it. The dissertation accordingly examines what Wesley’s sermons say about humility as one journeys with the aid of different kinds of grace: (a) the prevenient grace that leads persons humbly to admit their need for divine help; (b) the convincing grace of repentance, which Wesley sometimes elucidates through the parable of the Prodigal Son; (c) the justifying grace by which one’s now-acknowledged sins are pardoned and one is reconciled with God and so becomes a Christian; and (d) the sanctifying grace that not only leads one toward the goal of entire sanctification but is also accompanied by humility since even the justified are still weighed down by an inbred inclination toward evil.

BROWN In the spirit of a camp meeting, I will take the liberty to testify to heartwarming encounters with the holiness legacy. As a teenager one of my aborted attempts at disciplined spirituality centered on a devotional booklet, The Way, by E. Stanley Jones. So it was on a Sunday evening in the early forties that I willingly went with my parents to the Wichita Forum to hear an inspiring message by the renowned missionary. About a quarter before nine, I was moved to go forward with many others. I wanted to find out more about Gandhi. I soon discovered, however, that others were there to "pray through: which seemed to me to be a strange idea.
