“Ecclesiology has really become the driving doctrine,” said Holy Joys board member David Fry, who is also senior pastor of Frankfort Bible Holiness Church in Frankfort, Indiana. “We want to write theology for the church and developing healthier churches.”
Chris Lohrstorfer, associate professor of Wesleyan theology at WBS, said Wesleyan ecclesiology offers a vision of the church as a community. Many people, in recent years, have craved a community-oriented Christian life, he said, and that has only increased in response to what some experts have called an “epidemic of loneliness.”
“The Wesleyan understanding of church and Christianity is … what our society is looking for,” Lohrstorfer said.
Nearly 20 years after the rise of New Calvinism, a movement among today's young people is turning to Methodist tradition and Wesleyan theology. @CTmagazine reports: https://t.co/pKBkr936ce
