Assignment

1.Interview a senior local preacher or minister in your circuit. Ask them about their ministry as a preacher and about ‘enduring convictions’ that have been underlying it.

Describe how those convictions shaped the course of their ministry and how the changing life of the Church also shaped their ministry.
Compare their reflections with the enduring convictions underlying your own calling to a preaching ministry.

2.Write six ‘enduring convictions’ for a Methodist today that are concise statements of faith and that express something of who God is and what God does. These ‘enduring convictions’ must be of your own choosing and in your own words.

3.Choose one statement from your list in 2 and amplify its meaning and significance for today.

4.Reflect on how your own encounter with God (both personally and within a church community) has been a journey of discovery and learning with changes of perspective and milestones.
