Description: Description: Welcome
Welcome to Catalyst Online! United Methodist (UM) seminarians have been receiving Catalyst in their mail boxes since 1973. Since then our aims have remained constant: 

  • to alert seminarians to significant resources within the classical Christian tradition; 
  • to highlight evangelical perspectives on Christian faith and practice; 
  • to stimulate serious consideration of classical Christianity; and 
  • to encourage a seminary experience fully within the Wesleyan tradition of uniting the two so long divided, knowledge and vital piety
