Growing in Grace: Exploring the Wesleyan Way
A 6-session series exploring ‘the Wesleyan Way’, looking at Christian faith through the heritage and theology of the Wesleyan tradition.
The Wesleyan family of churches is one of the most widely-spread Christian traditions, with about 80 million people world-wide belonging to one of its branches. Many more are part of movements such as Pentecostalism which have been influenced by the Wesleyan tradition. But what does it mean to be ‘Wesleyan’?
Growing in Grace explores how the story of Methodist origins continues to impact Christian discipleship today. By deepening awareness of the heritage and theology of the movement, the impact of ‘the Wesleyan Way’ can positively influence discipleship, worship and mission today. Each session includes conversation with a Methodist theologian from around the world, to bring a global perspective to the study.
This is a fremium resource. That means you can join the 90 minute sessions online for free, by registering for a Zoom-only ticket. You will need to join us while the session is in progress.
