Thanks for this response!

If the WQ is easier to deal with now, great! And yet, even though I am one of those who really pushes it in our denomination, I don't think we should become fundamentalistic about it. All the more so because John Wesley never heard about it. I think it was Albert Outler who wrote that his studies suggested that this is how Wesley did his theological work.

This makes sense because he was a Church of England cleric till the day he died and it had long emphasized Scripture, tradition and reason. Wesley was concerned about experiential religion too. That was his "Methodist" contribution.

Thanks again!

Dave
