    A REPORT ON CHURCH, STATE AND ESTABLISHMENT Received by the Methodist Conference of 2004 SUMMARY OF CONTENTS Introduction (paragraphs 1-10) - an explanation of the background to the report. Beginning with stories (11-22) - examples and stories that are told, from the past and the present, which have a bearing on the subject being discussed. Using stories and experiences (23-29) - initial reflection on how such examples and stories help to shape what we believe about ‘establishment’. Establishment (30-52) - detailed discussion of what the establishment of the Church of England entails at present, concluding with a brief comparison with other situations in the United Kingdom and beyond. Biblical material (53-70) - exploration of biblical material, particularly in the Old Testament, which underpinned discussions of the establishment of the Church of England as it was shaped in earlier centuries. Other biblical texts are also explored, more briefly. Theological material (71-82) - as with the biblical section, an exploration of theological discussions which underpinned early discussions of the establishment of the Church of England, with reflection on how the theological discussions shifted in subsequent centuries. Methodist historical background (83-88) - brief exploration of how the debates on establishment affected, or were discussed in, Methodism, largely before the 20th century. Reflections (89-109) - the drawing out of important strands and implications from the previous material in the report, focusing on such areas as mission and unity and the variety of possible models of Church/state relationships. Conclusions and recommendations (110-119) - recommendations for discussion and action for the British Methodist Church. Resolutions Appendix - a summary of previous Methodist reports on areas related to the subject of establishment, particularly on political responsibility.

  • Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume XLIII December 1982 THE MANTLE OF ELIJAH Nineteenth-century Primitive Methodism and Twentieth-century Pentecostalism [This article is based on a lecture delivered to the Lincolnshire Methodist History Society at Sleaford on IOth October 1980. Many of the references are to places and events in Lincolnshire, but the author has little reason to believe that Primitive Methodism in Lincolnshire was so unique as to render these references useless to readers in other parts of Britain.] y concern in this article (hence its title) is to pose the ques­ tion: Has the spirit of nineteenth-century Primitive Method­ Mism come to rest on twentieth-century Pentecostalism? Not that one would want to be suspected of suggesting that Primitive Methodism has been taken up by a whirlwind into heaven! But it does seem that something of the spirit of the one has been taken up by the other. I must go on to say that I am in no sense suggesting a theological comparison. In some ways the two movements seem quite close in their theological bases, but that is not the point of the comparison I wish to make. Clearly their particular beliefs about the Holy Spirit lead Pentecostalists to assess the Spirit's gifts differ­ ently, giving them a dominant concern to seek and give evidence of the more spectacular gifts, notably that of speaking in tongues. This emphasis is quite different from that of Primitive Methodism­ although I should be very interested to know whether Pentecostal­ type manifestations accompanied early Primitive Methodism.

  • Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 53 May 2002 TENT METHODISM 1814 - 1832 ENT Methodism was one of a number of offshoots that emerged from Wesleyanism soon after John Wesley's death in March 1791. TThe Methodist New Connexion was the first major secession in 1797 when approximately 5,000 Wesleyans in the north of England seceded. During the second decade of the nineteenth century the Primitive Methodists and the Bible Christians became part of the fragmentation that Wesley himself feared might happen. The fact was that he had the ability to hold Methodism together, a feat that the next generation of leaders were incapable of achieving. Indeed, it is possible to argue that the schisms that occurred were accepted with little obvious regret, even if they were not actually encouraged. One of several other groups that arose, but which lasted for a much shorter time, was the Tent Methodists. Passing reference to their presence in particular localities has been made in works of some of the more recent Methodist church historians! but until now there has not been a full study of the significance of the group, partly because it did not become a major national or even a regional body. It is believed, however, that the group's impact was greater than has hitherto been acknowledged The story of Tent Methodism is inextricably linked with a few men in particular, of whom the most important was George Po cock. It is, in fact, often the case that the success or failure of an organization, secular or religious, heavily depends upon the motivation of, and competing demands on, the leaders.

  • “Wesley's Sermons.” Methodist Recorder
    “Wesley’s Sermons.” Methodist Recorder (September 20, 1945): 9. Matthew Prior, that politician-poet whom John Wesley ranked above Pope, and only just below Milton, once said— “Examples draw when precept fails, And sermons are less read than tales.” The second line was perhaps of doubtful truth when he wrote it, but it is certainly true now. Sermon-reading is almost a thing of the past. Very few printed sermons, especially old ones, are able to compete with the latest utterance of the latest popular preacher. One has a little sympathy with George Eliot’s phrase, “One may prefer fresh eggs, though laid by a fowl of the meanest understanding, but why fresh sermons?” Methodists, at any rate, have been trained to appreciate—or at least to tolerate—sermons which have reached a condition which is far from fresh. One is reminded of the society steward who glanced at a preacher’s bethumbed and faded manuscript, remarking, “I don’t know what your text is, but I know what it ought to be—‘Lo, these many years do I serve thee’!” Going back far beyond the comparatively short working life of the modern sermon, however, do we really appreciate the great heritage that is ours in the sermons of John Wesley? Of course, we all know—it has prompted many a smile in Local Preachers’ Meetings and Synods—that all Methodist preachers are supposed to have read the “Standard Sermons,” whether 53 or 44. Perhaps it is this very fact which has caused the neglect of Wesley’s Sermons; for Methodists, like any normal human beings, display a healthy dislike for anything which is forced upon them from above, willy-nilly.
