Description

The purpose of this book is simple — to reclaim a vision for church leadership from the great spiritual awakening referred to as the Wesleyan movement. Yet the way one goes about this work, contends Lovett H. Weems, Jr., is anything but simple. It involves walking a tightrope between continuity and change. The task is neither to repeat the past, nor to ignore it. Fairly the need is to locate the genius in the back of the achievements of the past from which we will learn for our day. It is to make a choice selectively those themes and emphases of the Wesleyan movement that can best inform the practice of ministry today, and to are seeking to grow into them. With a view to achieve this, Weems identifies such principles of early Wesleyanism as beginning with where people are, that specialize in service, and remembering the poor. He then enumerates practices of Wesleyan leadership, such as leading from the center and the edge, living in tension, and making “connection” happen. In any case, he names the core passions of the Wesleyan spirit: knowing God, proclaiming Christ, and looking for justice.
