WESLEY: A Theology of Experience

This will be an interesting and discursive introduction to Wesleyan theology.

Wesleyan theology is deeply rooted in the notions of grace, inclusivity, mercy, and human cooperation with God’s will. It is a theology that calls for a transformative and inclusive approach to faith, emphasising both personal piety and social action. No prior knowledge is needed.
