This afternoon American Methodist theologian Tim Tennent visited the IRD offices to discuss Wesleyan theological formation. I provided an update on the work of the John Wesley Institute. Video of our Zoom conversation is below via the IRD YouTube channel, audio is also downloadable in podcast form via IRD’s SoundCloud account.

Tennent will tonight deliver the first Annual Tennent Lecture on World Christianity with remarks on “Staying Centered in the Midst of the Shifting Center of World Christianity.” Video will be posted as soon as it is available.

He serves as the Methodist Chair at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. Tennent served for 15 years as the President of Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky having also served on the faculty at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts.
