Abstract

This article deepens the Wesleyan understanding of works of mercy as means of grace, arguing that the fullness of a Wesleyan theology of grace can only be explored when we extend the church’s imagination beyond the current ecclesial practices of charity, service, and advocacy. More profound encounters of divine grace are emerging when works of mercy are interpreted in terms of what will be called “works of deep solidarity.” Engaging in deep solidarity with others and with God, in places where we least expect it and cannot yet fully envision it, has the potential of sparking the next revival.
