Great, WJ! Let's do it!

Here are some thoughts that might be used to help formulate a title

Items, phrases, or places important to Wesley (in my opinion):

Holiness
Sanctification
"Strangely Warmed"
Aldersgate
"The World is my Parish"
Class Meetings

Alternatively, one could look at hymn titles written by his brother Charles.

Let's do this together!

I would add "Grace" to the above list.

 

[Celticflower]

Let's not forget

"Charity"

"Praise" (Oh For a Thousand Tongues to sing)

"Unconditional Love'

A Mighty Fortress is my all-time favorite hymn, but I can see how that might not strike the right note? lol

I'll have to look through my hymnal, because I love that idea, WJ! List some more hymns, please?

The church I grew up in is called King's Way, and I always liked that name lots. It's not specifically Wesleyan, though.

The Upper Room? (I dunno about that one...)

Do we we have any brain surgeons here? If so, may I have a discount for being a fellow Wesleyan, please? *bangs head on table*

I've made such a fool of myself all day today, that the prospect of reaching Higher Ground sounds attractive right now.
However, the one I think I would love of these, even on those rare days when I don't, is The King's Highway!!

Thanks, TCapp!

So far I like these themes: grace, perfection, strangely warmed; as in something like:

• Grace Place
• On to Perfection
• Strangely Warmed

 

[Origen]

And I suppose "Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors" may too closely be identified with the UMC, but as a name/slogan it would be great.

 

[Celticflower]

Maybe we should just go back to the beginning (in a sense) and call the forum "Aldersgate". Any Wesleyan worth the name should identify with it, but it doesn't single out any one branch.

In a sense I agree that "Aldersgate" would speak to "any Wesleyan worth the name," but that's also the shortcoming of using "Aldersgate" or "Wesleyan": it's preaching to the choir. What, if anything, do those words mean to the non-Methodist or unchurched guest to CF?

It'd be cool if we could find something that both grabs the newcomer/visitor and conveys a strong Wesleyan theme (in the way that "One Bread, One Body" does for the Catholic board and "The Ancient Way" does for the Orthodox board).
