  • Methodist Worship on the Delmarva Peninsula, 1800-1850
    Methodist Hist01y, 40:2 (January 2002) METHODIST WORSHIP ON THE DELMARVA PENINSULA, 1800-1850 AS WITNESSED IN THE LIFE AND WORK OF JOSHUA THOMAS, "PARSON OF THE ISLANDS" KIMBERLY BRACKEN LONG I Students of Methodist history have long debated the origins of Ameri­ can Methodism. Was it Philip Embury who began the first society in New York, or does the honor lie with Robert Strawbridge and his fellow Methodist in Frederick County, Maryland? This dispute has overshadowed a more important question, argues Russell Richey, namely, how Methodism has been shaped by regional particularities. 1 In Richey's view, it was the Chesapeake region-the Delmarva (Dela­ ware-Maryland~Virginia) Peninsula as well as the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, including Baltimore-that ''gave color to the whole move­ ment." Noting that Freeborn Garrettson, whose western shore society was one of the first on the continent, called the area "a nursery" of Methodism, Richey asserts that an exploration of Chesapeake religion is essential to understand how the movement took shape and spread in the American con­ text.2 Denying the commonly held assumptions that (1) American religion has only Puritan roots, (2) that southern religion (which he argues Methodism is) was primarily individualistic in focus, and that (3) Ainerican Methodism was a monolithic movement fron1 the start, Richey claims that Methodism in the United States was shaped in a particular way because of its Chesapeake roots. He proposes "nine facets of Chesapeake religion and later of American Methodism" 3-pluralism, revivalism, pietism, holiness, ambivalence about race, bi-raciality, denominationalism, roles of womert, and itinerancy-and asserts that each facet expressed characte1istics of Wesleyanism in a uniquely Chesapeake way.

Gruen Fall 2013 ABSTRACT Abraham’s Uncircumcised Children: The Enochic Precedent for Paul’s Paradoxical Claim in Galatians 3:29 by Amy Genevive Dibley Joint Doctor of Philosophy with Graduate Theological Union in Near Easter Religions in the Graduate Division University of California, Berkeley Professor LeAnn Snow Flesher, Chair This study proposes the Book of Dreams as the precedent for Paul’s program of gentile reclamation qua gentiles predating the composition of the Epistles by two centuries. 1 Dedication To my husband Peter, for whom the words loving and supportive and partnership hardly begin to encompass the richness of our journey together through this process. For our girls, Langsea and Lucia (5 and 4 years old as I submit this), who when playing “mommy” pause from dressing and feeding baby dolls to write their own dissertations. In thanks to the women of First Covenant Church in Rockford, Illinois and Kerry Staurseth (Langsea’s godmother) who watched those most precious to me so that this first child could at last be born, proving that it also takes a village to write a dissertation.

  • 26 Repairing Episcopacy by Tracking That of Bishop Christian Newcomer Russell E. Richey from “Wir Sind Brüder!” to “Can W
    Methodist History, 57:1 & 2 (October 2018 & January 2019) REPAIRING EPISCOPACY BY TRACKING THAT OF BISHOP CHRISTIAN NEWCOMER Russell E. Richey From “Wir sind Brüder!” to “Can We become Brothers?” We invited our beloved Brother Newcomer to a seat in our conference as your messenger, and he is doubly dear to us as the messenger of such joyful tidings of brotherly love from you. “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of all the messengers of mercy and love and peace and good will.[”]1 So the 1811 Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) Baltimore Conference received Christian Newcomer. The powerhouse, dominant, and controlling conference—the Vatican of early Methodism— imbedded this tribute within its formal response to an overture concerning union between the two church- es, an overture which Newcomer had conveyed. For the next three years, the Baltimore Minutes recognized Newcomer’s ambassadorial role and bur- dened him with responses to carry back. He had functioned in both mes- sage-bearing regards as well in the 1809 and 1810 United Brethren (UB) overtures, though, the Methodist Minutes do not so indicate. The encoun- ter for 1813—though it proved to be the last hopeful exchange—effectively ended the Newcomer-led unitive efforts. He described the 1813 events in some detail in his journal:2 [August] 25th—I preached at old Mr. Mohn’s, from Psalm 34, v. 20; rode to Peter Seitz’s, where our Conference is to be held. 26th—This forenoon the session of our Conference commenced; upwards of twenty preachers were present; poor unworthy me was elected their president.

  • North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church
    ---------------------~~--~~ / Historical Sketch , - of Salem United Methodist Church, Garland Charge The beginnings of Nethodism in North Carolina predate the Revolutionary ivar. The first mention of Methodists in the state, in The Go1.:gnialRecor<:lsQf. Nortl}.Carol~pa-- -. I is not a very complimentary one , howeve r. Rev. James Reed, an Anglican, writing from Neu Bern in 1760 to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, in London; speaks of them as "ignorant, censorious & uncharitable." Again in 1761, "The Methodists of late have given me a good deal of trouble ••. by preaching up the inexpediency of human learning & the practice of moral virtue & the great expediency of dreams, visions & immediate revelations.1I The intemperate nature of Reed's remarks may be explained by the unfavorable attitude tOlVard all dissenters on the part of the established church of that time.
