  • Camp Meetings in New England
    Camp Meetings: S. Mount Page 1 of 33 Camp Meetings in New England From Centers of Fiery “Red-hot Methodists” to Interesting Institutes Rev. Sarah Mount Presented to the Oxford Institute August 2007 Camp Meetings: S. Mount Page 2 of 33 The Practice of Camp Meeting Imagine traveling to a lovely three-acre grove of trees, cleared of all underbrush, where tents for sleeping are standing in an oblong square, or a circle. Behind the tents are carriages, wagons and tethered horses. Cooking fires are placed just outside the tent flaps. In the center of the tents, there is stage in front of a semicircle of benches, one section for the women and another for the men. At night this tent ground is illuminated by candles. This is the setting for a typical nineteenth century American camp meeting as described by American Methodist preacher, Jesse Lee. He wrote, We proceed in our religious exercises as follows: soon after the first dawn of day a person walks all round the ground in front of the tents blowing a trumpet as he passes; which is to give the people notice to arise; about ten minutes after the trumpet is blown again with only one long blast; upon which, the people in all their tents begin to sing, and then to pray, either in their tents or at the door of them, as is most convenient. At the rising of the sun a sermon is preached, after which we eat breakfast. We have preaching again at 10 o’clock, and dine about one.

    DISCOVERY edited by Kenneth E. Rowe '., '. Philip Embury's Preaching Mission at Chesterfield, New Hampshire by Arthur Bruce Moss 1'-, '1, •• , In the fall of 1772 Philip Embury conducted a preaching mission at Chesterfield, New Hampshire, 1 answering the urgent invitation of James Robertson, one of the early settlers in the interior of Cheshire County. Robertson had been deeply moved by reports he had received concerning the spiritual power of the Methodist society that Embury had established in 1770 in the Salem-Camden Valley area, New York, forty .,~ miles northeast of Albany.2 i i, Embury and a number of Methodist Irish-Palatines3 had removed with their families from New York City to take up a lease-hold upon the I' extensive Duane Tract in Camden Valley.4 Thomas Ashton, a Methodist ~. .. 1.

  • “For This Ordinance Belongeth to My House”: the Practice of Baptism for the Dead Outside the Nauvoo Temple
    Alexander L. Baugh: Baptism for the Dead Outside Temples 47 “For This Ordinance Belongeth to My House”: The Practice of Baptism for the Dead Outside the Nauvoo Temple Alexander L. Baugh The Elders’ Journal of July 1838, published in Far West, Missouri, includ- ed a series of twenty questions related to Mormonism. The answers to the questions bear the editorial pen of Joseph Smith. Question number sixteen posed the following query: “If the Mormon doctrine is true, what has become of all those who have died since the days of the apostles?” The Prophet answered, “All those who have not had an opportunity of hearing the gospel, and being administered to by an inspired man in the flesh, must have it hereafter before they can be finally judged.”1 The Prophet’s thought is clear—the dead must have someone in mortality administer the saving ordinances for them to be saved in the kingdom of God. Significantly, the answer given by the Prophet marks his first known statement concerning the doctrine of vicari- ous work for the dead. However, it was not until more than two years later that the principle was put into practice.2 On 15 August 1840, Joseph Smith preached the funeral sermon of Seymour Brunson during which time he declared for the first time the doc- trine of baptism for the dead.3 Unfortunately, there are no contemporary accounts of the Prophet’s discourse. However, Simon Baker was present at the funeral services and later stated that during the meeting the Prophet read extensively from 1 Corinthians 15, then noted a particular widow in the congregation whose son had died without baptism.

  • (October 2004) METHODIST PREACHING 1798 -1840
    Methodist History, 43:1 (October 2004) METHODIST PREACHING 1798 -1840: FORM AND FUNCTION FREDERICK V. MILLS, SR. The Methodist Episcopal Church was remarkably successful during the period 1798 - 1840. The period is bounded by the Second Great Awak~niug and the rising debate over slavery, which dwarfed other issues by 1840. Membership grew from 60,169 in 1798 to 795,445 reported by the General Conference of 1840. Institutions of learning, e.g., Augusta College, Madison 1 Collegel Indiana Asbury, Centenary College, LaGrange, Wesleyan, Emory, and Henry College, were founded. By 1833, Methodists had Bible, Sunday School, Tract, and Mission societies. In 1836, the Methodist Publishing House became the Methodist Book Concern. In the writings of the itinerants for the period there was one generally stated reason for this success: "Doubtless our denominational progress is attributable to a great many con­ ditions, but our preaching has been the chief one; it has been related to and has empowered all others." "Asbury and his corps of Circuit-Riders believed that the nation could actually be reformed and the world saved by the 'foolishness of preaching' ." 1 A primary condition that fostered Methodism's growth was the revival­ ism of America's Second Great .Awakening which extended at least from 1797 to 1817. An eastern phase revolved around Yale College and President Timothy Dwight, while a western phase was associated with the Cane Ridge, Kentucky meeting of 1801. The innovation of the frontier camp meeting was adopted by the Methodists and in 1807 Francis Asbury wrote to Edward Dromgoole, "camp meetings prevail generally.

  • Joseph Smith's Lessons on Leadership
    Education Week 2015 Prepare for “Joseph Smith’s Lessons on Leadership” Taught by Robert Spiel Retrieved from: http://josephsmith.net/article/leading-with-love?lang=eng Introduction Joseph Smith was a remarkable leader. He served as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; mayor of Nauvoo, one of the largest cities in Illinois; lieutenant-general of the Nauvoo Legion; and in 1844 he was a candidate for President of the United States. What set Joseph Smith apart from other dynamic leaders was the source of his teachings: the God of Heaven. "The best way to obtain truth 1 and wisdom," he taught, "is not to ask it from books, but to go to God in prayer, and obtain divine teaching." 2 Joseph led with love. He recognized the worth of every soul as a child of God. When asked why so many followed him, he replied: "It is because I possess the principle of love. All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand." 3 The Prophet refused to place himself above others. Rather, as he humbly said, "I love to wait upon the Saints, and be a servant to all, hoping that I may be exalted in the due time of the Lord." 4 Bereft of pride, 5 Joseph personified the Lord's counsel: "Whosoever will be great among you, . shall be servant of all." 6 Joseph Smith Quotes Nothing is so much calculated to lead people to forsake sin as to take them by the hand, and watch over them with tenderness.

  • 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.

  • 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.
