Class: United Methodist Heritage
In this course we will examine the basics of our United Methodist identity: History, Polity, and Doctrine. Questions will be considered such as: Where do we come from as a denomination? What does John Wesley have to do with us today? How do we organize the denomination and why? What are the basic beliefs of United Methodists? Do I have to agree with them? Why do we baptize infants? And why does any of this matter?
Suggested Reading: The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (2012) pages 11-142.
Also consider reading the following sermons by John Wesley (available online):
“The Scripture Way of Salvation”
“Catholic Spirit”
“The Means of Grace”
