Teologia metodyzmu w dobie ekumenizmu
Theology of Methodism in the Age of Ecumenism

Summary/Abstract: The Theology of Methodism within the Polish-speaking area is hardly known. It regards itself as the middle way. In the last 50 years, it has been experiencing a renaissance, at least in English-speaking countries. The theology of Methodism is based on historical Church documents and theological positions developed in long-term ecumenical dialogues with partners with different confessional histories. This article is to acquaint readers with the Methodist understanding of theology. Methodism easily fits into theological dialogue because it has not created any new doctrines. The theology of Methodism reminds readers of the importance of, somewhat forgotten, biblical themes. They include: the teaching of sanctification, of the constantly working and transforming grace of God. Ecumenical bilateral dialogues with various Christian families led to important arrangements and the signing of a declaration of mutual recognition of the „pulpit and altar”. Methodism is part of the broadly understood Protestantism with an emphasis on evangelicalism.
