Описание книги

What would Wesley say? United Methodists have always looked to their founder for an example or a quick quote to justify their actions. The Secret Transcript of the Council of Bishops takes the readers inside the debate over homosexuality and church unity with John Wesley as their guide. Homosexuality raises a host of related questions about the nature and mission of the church, the meaning of membership, and the role of the episcopacy. The Secret Transcript of the Council of Bishops explores what Wesley had to say that can show us a more loving way to move forward.
Written as a dialogue among a group of fictitious United Methodist bishops, The Secret Transcript of the Council of Bishops explores the real-life implications of homosexuality on church unity. Every perspective in this complex and contentious debate is examined and respected as the reader explores how God might be speaking to us through the insights of John Wesley.

A Dialogue on Homosexuality and Church Unity

Credo: Struggling, yes. They have to be at least struggling with sin, not celebrating it and tolerating it. Earlier you mentioned outward holiness, which brings up something you and Embrace are downplaying. Wesley always begins with a bare bones definition, but then he moves beyond this to a deeper definition of the church. Wesley always saw the true church or true believers as being within and visible in the institutional structure of church discipline and they are marked by personal expressions of outward holiness.

In referencing Article Nineteen and Cyprian, he made the point that the church is always visible; it is more than a “spiritual” unity. It is seen in the sacraments, heard in good preaching, and felt through the loving actions of all true believers. He had no concept of an “invisible church.” If the church is the church, then it is always a visible church.
