Lancaster’s article considers ‘United Methodist Doctrine After Disaffiliation’

Sarah Heaner Lancaster, MTSO professor in the Werner Chair of Theology, takes on a significant subject with her article “United Methodist Doctrine After Disaffiliation: Learning to Teach Our Teaching,” published in Methodist Review: A Journal of Wesleyan and Methodist Studies, Volume 16.

Lancaster asserts, “Doctrine secures our faith in God’s action and reality in the world through Jesus Christ, but theology calls us to keep looking for how God is acting as new situations and needs become apparent. It also calls us out of complacency over assumed meanings of doctrine that do not further God’s work and may even be harmful.”
