2021 Spring Webinars
With Dr. Priscilla Pope-Levison and Dr. Jeffrey Conklin-Miller
On April 14 and 21, hear from and interact with Dr. Priscilla Pope-Levison (Perkins School of Theology) and Dr. Jeffrey Conklin-Miller (Duke Divinity School) as they talk about their recently released books. These sessions are independent of one another so you may sign up for one or both. Made possible by a grant from The Foundation for Evangelism.
The "E -WORD"
WEBINAR SERIES
The word “Evangelism” has gotten a bad reputation. How do we reclaim a holistic way of living out and talking about our faith, reminiscent of John and Charles Wesley’s original “Methodist movement”, so that the people we meet can be introduced to the transforming power of a relationship with Jesus Christ?
This 3-week course is a great follow-up for those who have participated in the Evangelism for Non-Evangelists Webinar series or a learning/conversation session with The Foundation for Evangelism. There are no “pre-requisites” but the webinar will be more meaningful if you read Evangelism for Non-Evangelists ahead of time.

- Led by Experts in Wesleyan Evangelism
- Six 60 Min. Stand-alone Webinars
- Q&A with Webinar Leaders
