Rediscovering the Heart of Methodism
The Rediscovering the Heart of Methodism series provides non-degree asynchronous learning opportunities for cohort and individual study through the Divinity+ platform. The first edition of the series will include five 4-week online courses designed to help engaged laypeople and clergy (including local pastors in licensing schools) develop core capacities for innovative leadership within the Wesleyan tradition. Each course includes interactive video lessons from Duke Divinity School faculty and Methodist leaders, plus a course workbook PDF including exercises to accompany each video lesson and discussion guides for group meetings.
The five capacities addressed by Rediscovering the Heart of Methodism’s non-credit courses are:
- Cultivating a Scriptural Imagination
- Rediscovering Wesleyan Mission
- Emphasizing Christian Formation
- Nurturing Entrepreneurial Mindsets
- Forming Christ-Shaped Leaders
