In light of the recent 2019 Special Session held in St. Louis of the United Methodist Church regarding the denomination’s view on the definition of marriage, Kuyperian reached out to Dr. Matt O’Reilly, a UMC minister, to ask him about what it means to be a Methodist and to give us a summary of what happened in this special session.

Listeners will learn much about Methodism, its polity, and the positive direction towards a biblical view of sexuality within the denomination guided by the heroic efforts of the African bishops.

Dr. Matt O’Reilly is pastor of Hope Hull United Methodist Church near Montgomery, Alabama, Adjunct Professor of New Testament and Pastoral Ministry at Wesley Biblical Seminary, and a fellow of the Center for Pastor Theologians. He holds a Ph.D. in New Testament Studies from the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham, England, an M.Div. from Asbury Theological Seminary, and a B.A. in Philosophy from Auburn University.
