Sundays, 10:30-11:30 AM – in person / Facilitator: Jeffrey B. Speaks
As United Methodists, we belong to a religious movement whose roots stretch back to the Reformations of the 16th century: we are Protestant Christians. Have you ever wondered what it means to be a “Protestant?” Does it mean something more than simply “not Catholic?” In this class we will explore answers to that fundamental question of our religious identity. Instructor Jeff Speaks will help unpack the theology underlying the Protestant Reformation, with a focus on three key figures: Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Wesley. In addition to understanding the key contributions of their theologies, participants will be given the opportunity to explore what it means to be a Protestant in our own historical moment.
