Abstract

The objective of this project-thesis was to reveal the importance of the class meetings in the United Methodist heritage, and to suggest how their absence was related to the decline of their characteristic disciplines in the contemporary church. A group of fifteen volunteers participated in a six session project, covering the origins and historical context of the class meetings, and four key characteristics--journal writing, use of Scripture, accountability and discipline, and prayer and the sacraments. The volunteers learned the historical background, acknowledged the value of the class meetings, and advocated attempting a contemporary adaptation.
