This syllabus may be amended prior to the beginning of class. I extend a warm welcome to you and look forward to developing our relationship as we examine United Methodist Theology. I am amazed that I can lead this class in Texarkana, Arkansas through Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky with you living somewhere else in the United States or world. It is my privilege to serve as your guide on this ExL journey. I have a passion for theological thought.
Theology shapes every aspect of ministry.
One of the primary reasons I am a United Methodist pastor today is because of The United Methodist Church's doctrinal teaching. With your help and insights, we will deepen our understanding, as well as our appreciation, of Methodist thought and make connections to parish ministry. At this point, I need to let you know this is the first time I have taught or led a class on the internet. I am excited about being apart of this venture with you. However, I know there may be times when my instructions and directions are unclear.
