A Great Source for a Wesleyan Understanding of Baptism

 Dr. Matt O'Reilly, an elder in the Global Methodist Church, has recently produced a couple of very good video podcasts on his channel, Theology Project, which deal with the sacraments in the Wesleyan tradition.  The first one (which I plan to link after I have the chance to finish viewing it) is an interview with my friend, Dr. Ryan Dankers.  That interview focuses on the place of the Eucharist in Wesleyan theology.  -  The one, linked below, is an interview with another friend, Dr. Jonathan Powers, about the place of Baptism in Wesleyan theology.  -  Dr. Powers is a part of the Anglican Church in North America, and he currently teaches at one of my alma maters, Asbury Theological Seminary.  -  This is a  really good interview, and I commend it to all who are a part of the Wesleyan tradition.




One note:  You can pick up Dr. Power's book on Baptism, New Life in the Risen Christ: A Wesleyan Theology of Baptism, here.
