Ministry in the Newly Distanced Church (Part 1) by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes June 8, 2020

Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.  John 15:4-5

A Response To Recent Events In The United States by Kim Reisman

World Methodist Evangelism June 2, 2020

Events in the United States often impact the rest of the world. Though World Methodist Evangelism is a global organization working through a network of 80 million Methodist Wesleyans in over 130 countries; I feel it is important to speak out on the current unrest unfolding in the US. I have been trying to mentally and emotionally process what has

Reckoning Before Revival by Elizabeth Glass-Turner

elizabeth.turner May 30, 2020

There is a reckoning unfolding that we would avoid if we could – unless we are one of the people who have been crying out for it, praying for it, watching the horizon for it. But the people who pray for revival and the people who pray for reckoning aren’t always the same. In the open air of summer camp

“Overwhelmed”: How Our Pastors Are Coping With The Pandemic

Wesleyan Accent May 27, 2020

A Note From The Editor: Recently I asked clergy members from several Wesleyan Methodist denominations in the United States about what it’s been like coping with a pandemic. Ministers in other parts of the world have experienced these dynamics before, and pastors a hundred years ago went through this in America. For many church leaders in the U.S., these have

A Prayer For Burning Grace: Protocols & Pentecost by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner May 22, 2020

Pastors and denominational leaders face tough decisions right now. The Christian faith is inherently embodied; we gather, we meet, we celebrate the Incarnation – the Word Made Flesh. For millenia, we’ve celebrated the Eucharist, finding Christ’s presence in the tangible – wine and bread, a burning grace. The Christian faith is also inherently self-sacrificial; we mend, we serve, we search

Fishing Through The Disappointment Of Empty Nets by Edgar Bazan

Edgar Bazan May 15, 2020

It was after Easter. The disciples were told to wait for Jesus in Galilee. But did they have to wait by sitting and doing nothing? “I’m going fishing,” said Peter. And why not? It made perfect sense. Fishing was their livelihood. They may as well make some money while waiting. So they all piled into a boat and shoved off.

Celtic Christianity And The Coloring Craze by Tammie Grimm

Tammie Grimm January 30, 2017

Chances are, you or someone you know gave or received a coloring book for adults in the last year. With titles as catchy as “Color Me Stress Free” or “The Art of Relaxation,” the coloring craze has swept the nation. Whether the book contains images of floral gardens, mandalas or other graphic patterns, the idea behind coloring therapy is to

Is Sin Necessary To Know Jesus? Why It Matters by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner January 26, 2017

“Jesus has a body but the Father and Spirit do not. Discuss.” One of my acquaintances posted this on social networking recently, provoking a number of responses. One person wondered if Christ had always had physical form. The discussion spun and doubled back, spiraled and swung. And, as it happens, it matters. Frequently theology – especially Trinitarian theology – is

Suicide And The Enemy Of Our Souls by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore January 25, 2017

Yet another acquaintance lost his life to depression over the holidays. Such loss leaves everyone devastated on multiple levels. When devastations like suicide drop into our lives, we’re left with far more questions than answers, not to mention the guilt and so often, such a sense of powerlessness. Stretching to make sense of a tragic event, we tend to grab

Be Careful Little Tongue What You Say by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard January 15, 2017

We had a funny moment here in our house the other night. My oldest was filling out a form to take the ACT in the coming weeks.  She’s only in the 7th grade, but I like that they start taking it early.  She was filling out the form and she called me into the living room.  When I got there, she

Unknown Gods by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman January 9, 2017

The question remains. Do we really know the High God? How would our lives change if we really understood the fact that the God made real in Jesus Christ – the God of the world – loves each tribe and nation equally? How would that understanding change how we looked at other tribes and clans – even in our own

How To Pray When Your Prayer Life Is On The Rocks by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore January 9, 2017

J. C. Albert has to be one of the greatest followers of Jesus I’ve ever met. I met him in India in 2012. He was the most open, loving, friendly guy and he had these wonderful stories to tell of adventures with Jesus. He has visited and shared the good news of Jesus Christ in nearly 3,000 tribal villages in
