The Greatest Story Never Told - eBook [ePub]

Here is a ditty Len Sweet’s Methodist grandfather used to sing: 
                A Methodist, a Methodist will I be
                A Methodist will I die.  
                I’ve been baptized in the Methodist way 
                And I’ll live on the Methodist side.  

What “genius” of Methodism inspired this kind of love and loyalty in the earlier years of the faith? What did it mean to live in “the Methodist way” and to die on “the Methodist side?” Perhaps it is time to resurrect a neo-Wesleyan identity and to challenge the prevailing “one-calorie Methodism” that characterizes so much of our tribe today.
