In “The Creed We Need”, Jerome Van Kuiken gives us a very compact but loaded tour through the interactions between the ancient witness of the Nicene Creed and the less-ancient but now “traditional” theological underpinnings of the [John] Wesleyan[an] movement(s). In this fun & wide-ranging conversation, we hit up all kinds of topics. I’d love to hear from you: Which part was your favourite?
