El Corazón Ardiente for Renewing Doctrine, Worship, and Mission (Center for Leadership Excellence)
February 15, 2023 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
“I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power.” —John Wesley, 1786
“Church renewal” is widely discussed across Methodism today, but renewal will not happen apart from serious engagement with and from the margins of society.
In this webinar, Dr. Edgardo Colón-Emeric offers key insights drawn from his new book, The People Called Metodista: Renewing Doctrine, Worship, and Missions from the Margins. Following the pattern of the book, the webinar looks to the experiences of Methodists in Latin American pueblos and Hispanic barrios to open new conversations about doctrine, worship, and mission for the sake of social renewal. In true Wesleyan spirit, the flames of renewal do not confine themselves to Methodist institutions, but from the people called metodista they can spread, sharing in the Wesleyan movement’s fundamental calling to revitalize the church universal in its mission to the world. In this webinar, we hope for more than hearts “strangely warmed”—we hope for hearts ablaze, for corazones ardientes.
