Wesleyan Ways

Exploring our Methodist Roots

This year the Virginia Annual Conference will examine our identity as United Methodists as we explore our historical and theological roots. Using Rev. Jim Harnish’s book Journey to the Center of the Faith as our frame, each month, Bishop Sue will be joined by a special guest and together they will explore an aspect of who we are as United Methodists.

Each episode will be released on the second Monday of each month at 12 noon. In addition to the episode, there will be a discussion guide.
