The purpose of this book is simple -- to reclaim a vision for
church leadership from the great spiritual awakening known as the
Wesleyan movement. Yet the way one goes about this work, contends
Lovett H. Weems, Jr., is anything but simple. It involves walking a
tightrope between continuity and change. The task is neither to
repeat the past, nor to ignore it. Rather the need is to locate the
genius behind the achievements of the past from which we can learn
for our day. It is to choose selectively those themes and emphases
of the Wesleyan movement that can best inform the practice of
ministry today, and to seek to grow into them. In order to achieve
this, Weems identifies such principles of early Wesleyanism as
beginning with where people are, focusing on service, and
remembering the poor. He then enumerates practices of Wesleyan
leadership, such as leading from the center and the edge, living in
tension, and making "connection" happen. Finally, he names the core
passions of the Wesleyan spirit: knowing God, proclaiming Christ,
and seeking justice.
