Why have you responded to the call to fulfill your role in the magazine?
I am called by God to both study and write. I am a student of Human Behavior and am committed to the church. I believe that the genius of the Wesleyan epistemology, with its quadrilateral sources make the study of the Social Sciences respected and informative for the life of the church.
