Leadership

Author’s insights

The word generous is about charity toward others in the body of Christ (1 Cor. 13), patience with them in their own spiritual journeys, openness to the possibility that we see through a glass darkly or a reflection in a mirror (1 Cor. 13), and humility that we consider others more highly than we do ourselves (Phil. 2).

Can the church be healed?

OTHER BOOKS by the author

EMBRACING THE WIDENESS: The Shared Convictions of The United Methodist Church Kenneth H. Carter, Jr.

At times, a denomination is able to remain viable despite divergent understandings of holiness, and the church can accomplish its mission regardless of believers’ differences. Other times, those differences cause fragmentation and division with each side doing harm to the other.

In Embracing the Wideness, author Kenneth H. Carter, Jr. discusses two distinct conceptions of church within the United Methodist denomination: a separatist church which views holiness as a calling and an activist church which sees holiness as a movement to change an unjust world. He challenges readers to accept a “generous orthodoxy” to avoid becoming immersed in the emotional processes that pit people against one another and to acknowledge the miraculous source of our capacity to be healed of our schisms.

Wouldn’t it be fascinating to attend a Bible study led by John Wesley? Scripture and the Wesleyan Way is an eight-week study that’s the next best thing.

The Bible was central to John Wesley’s faith and the Christian movement he founded. Scott J. Jones and his son Arthur D. Jones use Wesley’s own words to address questions that many of us in the twenty-first century still struggle with today. Each chapter explores a key Scripture text and one of Wesley’s sermons about the text in order to illuminate his understanding about what it means to be a real Christian. You will be inspired to respond to this call with faith and boldness.

Additional components include a DVD featuring the authors and a comprehensive Leader Guide.

In this exciting and inspiring study, Scott J. Jones helps seekers and believers to envision and practice discipleship as a way of life. Presenting Christianity from a Wesleyan perspective, Jones invites participants into a deeper, more thoughtful, more active commitment to Christ. This 8-session study helps participants focus on how, through discipleship with Jesus Christ, we become part of God’s work in transforming the world. Each week a different presenter shares their personal faith experience.

Presenters include Adam Hamilton, Olu Brown, Felicia Hopkins, Jessica Moffat Seay, Jorge Acevedo, Rob Fuquay, and author Scott Jones. Mini-videos conclude each week with an interview or ministry story from the presenter’s home church. Participants then read on their own from the student book and the Bible and then once a week the group comes together to explore what they’ve read and to view another video.

Recharge. Reboot. Reorder. Whatever you want to call it, we need a process that helps us continuously renew our relationship with God so that we don’t drift away from our faith.

Based on The Wesley Covenant for Renewal, Five Means of Grace is a six-week, video-based study that will show you how to reorder your life through prayer, searching Scripture, receiving the Lord’s Supper, fasting, and conferencing (worshiping together). You’ll learn how to recognize and affirm the outward signs, words, and actions of an invisible divine grace, deepening your relationship with God and making your faith more complete.

Prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness…this is what we commit to when we become members of The United Methodist Church, and it’s a big step. But A Disciple’s Path helps us look beyond membership, presenting an engaging approach to discipleship from a distinctly Wesleyan perspective. Discipleship is ongoing, so the 6-week study is perfect for new-member groups, but also works well in small groups of long-time members. It helps you develop spiritual practices, discover your unique gifts, and engage in ministry that brings transformation to your own life and to the lives of others and the world.

The Wesley Challenge not only introduces our denomination’s founder in a practical and accessible way, the series engages small groups and churches to work through twenty-one questions studied over three weeks to help renew passion and discover a deeper commitment to God—one that is more authentic, vulnerable, and soul-shaping. Daily posts and messages are designed with an emphasis on graphics and short content bits to engage your physical, emotional, and spiritual lives throughout the 21-day study which offers a book, a Leader Guide, a Youth Study Book, a DVD, and a Campaign Download Package.

In Revival, he once again uses his captivating, storytelling talent to take you on a six-week journey through England tracing the life of John Wesley. Wesley’s message and his faith continue to speak to twenty-first-century Christians, calling for a revival of our hearts and souls so that our world might be changed. His story is our story.

Devotion & Prayer A helpful guide for daily reading, reflection, and prayer PRAYING WITH JOHN WESLEY

David A. deSilva

Praying with John Wesley is based on the model for daily prayer developed by Wesley in 1733. Centered on six Christian virtues, it includes daily Scripture reading, personal reflection, and prayer. While remaining true to Wesley’s intent and emphasis, deSilva has updated and interpreted Wesley’s prayers to be used by twenty-first century Christians who are seeking to grow as disciples, taking the reader through one full week of morning and evening devotions.

Readers are encouraged to use this guide through several weekly cycles. The first time through you’ll learn about the virtues and begin to wrestle with their meaning and value. By repeating the cycle, your understanding will deepen.

Perfect for the Advent season or for Lenten reflection.

We offer this array of books with differing perspectives for your study, reflection, and edification as together we seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

A voice for amicable separation of The United Methodist Church ARE WE REALLY BETTER TOGETHER? An Evangelical Perspective on the Division

in The UMC Rob Renfroe and Walter Fenton

The authors set out to address the division within The United Methodist Church and contend that remaining united is hurting the church and the proclamation of the gospel. Recognizing that conservative and progressive Methodists are sincere in their beliefs, the authors doubt that one side will convince the other to change their minds. They therefore suggest that a fair and amicable separation is the best course of action.

“The United Methodist Church is at a crossroads. We are a divided church and the truth is we are a hurting church. Some of us believe that our differences are so great and the ongoing battle so destructive that it’s time to part ways. For over four decades conservative and progressive United Methodists have expended enormous emotional, financial and spiritual resources to gain the upper hand in a denomination that has declined every year since its founding in 1968. Surely our efforts and our finances would be better devoted to evangelism, discipleship and missions.

For the sake of the lost and the poor, shouldn’t we set each other free to pursue what we believe to be God’s calling upon our lives and our ministries?” (From the Introduction) Abingdon Press.

There is deep disagreement about what The United Methodist Church should teach about homosexuality, same-gender marriage, and the ordination of LGBTQ persons. In 2019, a special session of General Conference will be held to consider these issues and how they will be addressed by The United Methodist Church in the future.

Living Faithfully is designed to help you understand the shape of this debate and what it means for the present and the future. Each chapter includes background on the Bible, Christian theology, history, stories from diverse viewpoints, and United Methodist structure and practice to guide reflection and conversation. You’ll also find definitions of key terms and information about upcoming events.

This four-week study will help you understand and grapple with various views about the ministry and teaching of The United Methodist Church around issues of human sexuality. It will lead you to have honest, well-informed, and grace-filled conversations with others about these matters and the calls for change. And it will help you discern, in prayer and conversation, how you can respond faithfully in love of God and neighbor.

A Leader Guide is included with lesson plans to help facilitate a four-session small group study.

Tolerate one another. Wait. Isn’t that supposed to be love one another? It’s one thing to genuinely love people who are more or less the same as we are, but what about those who are not only strangers, but people who live completely different lives?

Reliable spiritual guide Will Willimon invites you to look more closely at the gospel’s command to love—because to genuinely love those considered to be “Other” may be the hardest thing for people of faith to do.

S

When we love God with our minds, conversations matter, especially faithful conversations about difficult and divisive topics. This book and four-week study represent the clear reasoning and earnest conferencing by an international group of scholars who met to discuss human sexuality and the future of The United Methodist Church. The contributors to the book informed the Colloquy on the Unity of the Church and Human Sexuality, sponsored by the United Methodist General Board of Higher Education and Ministry and the Association of United Methodist Theological Schools. The meeting convened at Candler School of Theology in March 2017.

The study addresses how the church can be a witness and provide for a diversified human community. Based on the research of Dr. Charles M. Wood, the Study Guide offers United Methodists an opportunity to think about what has become a cultural and ecclesial flash point—human sexuality—and comes out of the conviction that the church is thirsty for theological conversation. The guide plumbs the depths of the Wesleyan heritage to enhance our faithful witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ at a time when devout followers are deeply divided.

History Part of the bicentennial edition of the works of John Wesley THE WORKS OF JOH N WESLEY, VOLUME 32: Medical and Health Writings James G. Donat and Randy L. Maddox, editors

From the beginning of his ministry, John Wesley was committed to nurturing in his own life and in the communities he served “health of body and of soul.” This volume provides a window into his concern for “health of body” by collecting all of his writings related to health and wellness. These range from his best-selling home guide to health care, the Primitive Physic, through his recommendation of electrical-shock therapy, to his concern for nervous disorders.

The volume will be of keen interest to all who are committed to recovering Wesley’s holistic understanding of salvation and ministry in the present church, as well as to those seeking a better understanding of medical care in the eighteenth century.

Theology The first systemic exposition of Wesley’s theology JOHN WESLEY’S TEACHINGS 4 VOLUME SET Thomas C. Oden

John Wesley’s Teachings is the first systematic exposition of John Wesley’s theology that is also faithful to Wesley’s own writings. Wesley was a prolific writer and commentator on Scripture—his collected works fill eighteen volumes—and yet it is commonly held that he was not systematic or consistent in his theology and teachings. On the contrary, Thomas C. Oden demonstrates that Wesley displayed a remarkable degree of internal consistency over sixty years of preaching and ministry.

This series of 4 volumes is a text-by-text guide to Joh n Wesley’s teaching. It introduces Wesley’s thought on the basic tenets of Christian teaching: God, providence, and man (volume 1), Christ and salvation (volume 2), the practice of pastoral care (volume 3), and issues of ethics and society (volume 4). In everyday modern English, Oden clarifies Wesley’s explicit intent and communicates his meaning clearly to a contemporary audience. Both lay and professional readers will find this series useful for devotional reading, moral reflection, sermon preparation, and for referencing Wesley’s opinions on a broad range of pressing issues of contemporary society. Also features a custom-made slip case that can only be found here at Cokesbury.

WOMEN BISHOPS OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH: Extraordinary Gifts of the Spirit Sharon Zimmerman Rader and Margaret Ann Crain

Bishop Sharon Zimmerman Rader and Margaret Ann Crain interviewed and collected stories from each of the women bishops elected in The United Methodist Church, the first denomination with women elected to the episcopacy. Through these stories, they seek to answer the following questions: • What was it about these women that enabled them to persevere, claim authority, define leadership in their own ways, and rise to the episcopacy?

• How did their presence challenge and change the church?

Their stories reveal how these clergywomen changed the church while they blazed leadership trails both before and after their election to the episcopacy. The book shares inspirational stories and pivotal moments that illustrate how women manage the complexities of family, faith, and authority. It is about both realized and unrealized differences that women bishops made/make/will make in The United Methodist Church.

It can be hard to keep a positive attitude while planting a church or revitalizing a congregation, especially if you begin by comparing yourself to the ‘heroes’ of church growth. Authors Matt Miofsky and Jason Byasse studied several highly successful church plants and found these leaders and their congregations share common practices and characteristics.

In Eight Virtues of Rapidly Growing Churches, they present their discoveries and give you the opportunity to learn how you, too, can tap into a sense of hope about the new things you can do to grow your church plant or to rejuvenate your existing congregation.

CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP: Speaking for God to the People, Speaking to God for the People

Maxie Dunnam

The bedrock grounding of church leaders is in God. This grounding comes through deliberate and explicit attention to God through prayer and self-reflection. Leadership as vocation, Christian leadership, begins with self-leadership, clarifying one’s own heart, one’s whole being, and one’s mind in order to find and show that one’s most basic identity and deepest and most concrete security lie in God—not in success or in pleasing someone else or in being seen as a good person or being loved by a congregation or the faith community we lead.

Chapters include: • The Vocation of Leadership • The Shape of Our Vocation • Lessons From the Saints • What is Good Ministry?

• The Persons We Are and the Institutions We Serve • The Preacher and Preaching • Taking Care of Ourselves in the Everyday • Time: It’s Ours to Receive, Use, and Manage • Staying Alive All Our Ministry Life Abingdon Press.

Leadership College students’ response to diversity could re-shape our world INTERSECTIONS: Faith, Church, and the Academy

Preparing leaders for an interfaith world, colleges strive to educate students for leadership in communities, businesses, churches, governments, and the academy, and they must also prepare them for an increasingly religiously pluralistic world by offering opportunities for interfaith cooperation.

This book shows the innovation and inspired engagement happening on United Methodist-related colleges and universities. While crafted to serve the needs of church leaders, administrators, and faculty, students are the most important audience for this volume, because they are best positioned to re-shape our world in ways that respond to the increased diversity within our communities.
