Methodist Blogs Weekly Roundup

Thanks to Allan R. Bevere we have another weekly roundup of Methodist blogs, with four blogs selected as Best of the Methoblogosphere, and I am very surprised to find that he has chosen my 'Lost for Words' post as one of them. I feel I must give credit to the writers of the CPAS course material, on which I drew heavily in order to write about our first 'Lost for Words' session. I hope it will encourage other churches and Circuits to use this extraordinary course.

Looks interesting. Please read my book and comment on it.

Have you heard about John Wesley? Do you like reading about John Wesley? Are you interested in John Wesley’s theology?

Are you interested in what John Wesley thought about the Roman Catholics? How about the Quakers? Did you know that he wrote about the Deists and the Mystics and compared their thinking with that of his “True Christianity?” He also wrote about the relationships between Judaism and Christianity.

John Wesley was a very ecumenical thinker holding together many views that apparently are opposed to each other. We should be proud of our founder.

The book “John Wesley, Natural Man, and the ‘Isms’” written by J. Robert (Bob) Ewbank, discusses all of these issues and more.

Written for the layperson as well as the scholar, there is a Study Guide in the back of the book to help individual or group study. The Guide has questions in the front, which are answered later in the Guide.

Bob has a B.A. from Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas and an M.A. from Garrett-Evangelical. He is currently Lay Leader of St. Mark UMC, in Mobile, AL.

Bishop Rueben P. Job of the United Methodist Church has written some kind words on the back cover.

Sam Royappa District Superintendent of the Coulee District in Wisconsin has recommended this book to his clergy and laity.

Dennis Mohler, District Superintendent of the Foothills District in Ohio also comments on the book at www.foothillsdistrict.org/newsletter/october

The book is found on the Newcastle Methodist Church site at www.newcastlemethodist.org.uk.

A review of the book has also been published in the October 15, 2009 copy of The Laity Link which is the newsletter of the Alabama-West Florida Conference Board of Laity. It is also been written up in “The Rainbow,” the magazine of Delta Tau Delta, The “Aware” magazine of Garrett-Evangelical and the Baker University magazine “Baker World.”

The book has been used by a local Sunday School in its entirety and quoted in others.
