On-campus classes were quickly shifted to online formats. In-person gatherings, including gradua- tion, were either postponed or canceled. Public health orders directed stu- dents to stay home, emptying the campus of all but essential personnel. For graduate schools across the country, the pandemic raised questions about both pedagogy and sustainability. But the health crisis also brought unprecedented opportunities, espe- cially for churches and seminaries. Suddenly, the entire world fixed its at- tention on the realities of mortality and eternity. The brevity of life and the certainty of death gripped hearts and minds in a concentrated way. While preventative measures and medical treatments can slow the physical effects of disease, only the gospel offers a permanent cure for sin and death. The following article does not address the COVID-19 pandemic. Ra- ther, it focuses on the need for pastoral training, for the purpose of gospel advancement. When we remember why theological education is necessary, and what it is designed to accomplish, it reinforces our resolve to carry out our mission. A global health crisis does not change the scope or nature of our God-given mandate. It simply reminds us of the urgent need to raise up gospel ministers who will faithfully proclaim the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ. * * * * * A biblical justification for seminary education can be made from a number of New Testament passages. Matthew 28:19 prioritizes the teaching of disciples; 2 Tim- othy 2:2 emphasizes leadership training; Titus 1:9 requires elders to be equipped to articulate and defend the faith. Other familiar passages could also be cited. But a somewhat obscure passage in Acts 19 provides a precedent for seminary education 1 2 | Editorial in a particularly insightful way. These verses, which may initially seem insignificant, describe the apostle Paul starting a theological training school in the city of Ephesus. The setting was Paul’s third missionary journey (AD 52/53–56). After leaving Antioch and traveling through the churches of southern Galatia, the missionary-apos- tle made his way to Ephesus. There he encountered roughly a dozen disciples of John the Baptist and introduced them to the Lord Jesus, the one to whom John pointed (Acts 19:1–7). Picking up the narrative at that point, Luke writes: And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God. But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. (Acts 19:8–10)1 As Luke explains in verses 9–10, Paul met with a group of believers in a school for two years, reasoning about theology from the Word of God. Therein lies a basic paradigm of seminary education. From this short passage (Acts 19:8–10), three features of the first seminary might be derived: the imperative, the investment, and the impact of theological education. These features provide helpful parallels for both students and teachers engaged in seminary education today. The Imperative: A Courageous Commitment to the Gospel (vv. 8–9a) Acts 19:8 describes the content of Paul’s message—a message he no doubt con- tinued to deliver even after he left the synagogue. An analysis of verse 8 demonstrates that Paul’s message was continuous

I would like to begin with words of thanksgiving and praise to God for the great gift of the Christian faith to the peoples of this Continent. Likewise, I am most grateful for the kind words of Cardinal Francisco Javier Errázuriz Ossa, Archbishop of Santiago and President of CELAM, spoken in his own name, on behalf of the other two Presidents and for all the participants in this General Conference. 1. The Christian faith in Latin America Faith in God has animated the life and culture of these nations for more than five centuries. From the encounter between that faith and the indigenous peoples, there has emerged the rich Christian culture of this Continent, expressed in art, music, literature, and above all, in the religious traditions and in the peoples’ whole way of being, united as they are by a shared history and a 2 shared creed that give rise to a great underlying harmony, despite the diversity of cultures and languages.

    Some Insights from John Wesley and ‘The People Called Methodists’

    DENOMINATIONAL IDENTITY IN A WORLD OF THEOLOGICAL INDIFFERENTISM: SOME INSIGHTS FROM JOHN WESLEY AND ‘THE PEOPLE CALLED METHODISTS’ David B. McEwan This article has been peer reviewed. This article examines the importance of denominational identity for the early Methodists and its implications for us today. John Wesley clearly believed God had raised up the Methodists to live and proclaim the message of scriptural holiness. The challenge of maintaining the ethos of the Methodist communities required close attention to those critical elements that shaped both their lives and their beliefs. Evidence is presented of Wesley’s commitment to focus on the ‘essentials’ that defined his movement, while leaving room for diversity on ‘non-essentials’ to allow for cooperation in mission between different Christian traditions. Having identified these critical elements in Wesley’s own day, the question is asked how this might be applied today, not only in a local church setting but also for those involved in theological education and ministerial formation. ____________________________________________________ Introduction In the last ten years or so there has been a spate of books, articles, and conferences expressing concern about evangelical identity and denominational identity. Recently the Assemblies of God raised questions about the current importance and practice of speaking in tongues within their movement. Many Reformed denominations are seeking to return to a more robust form of Calvinism and my own denomination (Church of the Nazarene) is concerned about the loss of our Wesleyan heritage, particularly the emphasis on holiness of heart and life. The focus of this paper is not to examine whether the current concerns are valid, nor is it to examine all the possible reasons for this loss of ‘identity.’ Instead, I want to look briefly at one particular concern highlighted by many denominational scholars and leaders— Aldersgate Papers, vol.

There are two main argumentative trajectories. First, I establish the coherency of indifference as a unifying theme across both of their works. Specifically, it will be shown that for both thinkers indifference emerges as a “problem” bound up with the history of western metaphysics tending towards nihilism. For Kant, this appears as a problem of reason, and for Heidegger a loss of Being. Their responses to this problem can also be seen as broadly analogous: Both are concerned to demonstrate how a certain “authentic” relation to the inner possibility of metaphysics is possible, and do so without assuming anything in advance about the being for whom metaphysics is an issue. Second, I aim to show that Heidegger’s notion of indifference, as a closure of ecstatic time and loss of Being, more sufficiently accounts for the breadth of indifference as an experiential phenomenon, as well as makes possible a “turning” (Verwindung) of this closed mode into an kind of “open indifference” that makes possible the presencing of things.

Hurricane Irma brushed by our house and took out our electric service for 24 hours. Without “power” the lights wouldn’t light, the computer wouldn’t compute, the telephone wouldn’t tell, the freezer wouldn’t freeze, the fridge wouldn’t fridge, and the AC wouldn’t condition the air. Without a source of power outside of themselves, all these machines were helpless. The same is true if we depend only on ourselves to propel us through life into eternity. We need the power of Jesus within us to make our service fruitful. And so it is with Anabaptist Voice. If it is not powered by God it will come to nothing, absolutely nothing. But, as Gamaliel said in Acts 5:39, “If it is of God, then no man can overthrow it.” We believe God’s power is manifest in the Anabaptist churches of today. We are not reclusive Bible huggers gathered in protected enclaves. Instead, we are holding forth the Word of Life with outstretched hands rather than hugging it to our breasts. In seven issues of AV we have seen stories of Anabaptists in Australia, Canada, Greece, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iraq, Israel, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, USA, and Singapore.
