King-Shaw, and Steven W. Manskar.
The second Wesleyan Institute will be held October 22-24, 2009, at Holman United Methodist Church in Los Angeles, CA. The event is titled "Opening Ourselves to Grace" and will focus on the means of grace in the Wesleyan tradition, shaped by the General Rule of Discipleship. Keynote speaker will be the Rev. Dan Benedict, author of Patterned by Grace and Come to the Waters (published by Discipleship Resources). Other featured speakers will be Mary Elizabeth Moore, Andy Dreitcer, Bishop Sudarshana Devadhar, Steven W. Manskar, and others.
