I am delighted to be your instructor and learning guide for this course. You may already have a strong sense of who you are in Christ and the implications of his call upon your life. If so, this course should help you to strengthen and to further clarify the nature and implications of that call. On the other hand, you may yet feel tentative about a "call" and vocation. Be of good cheer. We're embarking on an exploratory journey that should lead you toward making some vocational commitments. Together we will grow in Christ and in embodying his claims upon our lives. I'm here to support you on the journey and to hold you accountable along the way. Blessings, Toddy Holeman First things first: "The development of this extended learning syllabus is intended for distribution to members of the course and others by my permission. It is not intended for general distribution on the Internet. Permission to copy, in whole or in part, must be requested from the professor (Toddy Holeman)." Thanks for honoring these instructions. And then some preliminaries: Teaching and learning online is a growing experience for us all. Periodically we will need to extend grace to one another as we communicate and work together in this medium. For example, are the instructions clear? Are the assignments and discussions working? Are you having problems? Please let me know. What I might consider "crystal clear" might seem as "clear as mud" to you. Also let me and your course mates know if you find that you are going to be "off line" for a time. That will save us from wondering where you are. It has also been my experience that life throws curve balls into our well-constructed plans. If you find yourself falling behind because life has overwhelmed you, please contact me by phone or e-mail as soon as you can so we can discuss your situation and problem solve together. Too often students ignore the support and help that a professor can offer at the front end of a crisis.

Maximum Registration: 50 Catalog Description: A survey of Methodist theology after Wesley to the present with a special focus upon its American developments.

Theological transitions will be studied through representative theologians in the Wesleyan tradition. ST501 is a recommended preparatory course.

The purpose of this course is to explore from a Wesleyan perspective the biblical and theological foundations of Christian personhood and vocation by examining the nexus between call to ministry and formation of persons in ministry. Stevens, Chapters 4-5 Covenant Group: Continue covenant groups. March 1: DISCovering the Way we Lead You will discover more about yourself through the DISC survey and combine this practical information with the previous lectures and discussions to reflect upon your call to ministry.
