Erika Stalcup: "Methodism has no fixed theology nor liturgy, we're flexible and I like that!"

🎙️ English Episode!

Join us as Dr. Erika Stalcup—ordained Deacon, Pastor, Scholar, and Musician—invites us into her world of Methodism. Erika is a pioneer in many ways:

• ⛪ Pastor at the oldest Methodist chapel (emk-schweiz.ch/methodistisch/geschichte/geschi…) in Switzerland in Lausanne
• ✨ Leader of a Fresh-X Project called Village Mosaique (villagemosaique.ch/english), which embraces diversity & unity
• 📚 Lecturer at the Methodist Cliff College (cliffcollege.ac.uk)in England
• 🎓 Academic Coordinator at the eAcademy (methodist-e-academy.org/about-the-methodist-e-…), an educational initiative providing theological courses for the United Methodist Church across Europe
and much more!

Erika is deeply rooted in the Methodist understanding of grace for all and social holiness, which means both social justice and right relationships.
