  • Methodists, Secession, and the Civil War in Western Virginia, 1845-1872
    Enemies of the State: Methodists, Secession, and the Civil War in Western Virginia, 1845-1872 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Tyler Foulds, M. A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Randolph A. Roth, Advisor Dr. Alan Gallay Dr. John Brooke Copyright by Matthew Tyler Foulds 2012 Abstract Situated on the contested border between the North and South, western Virginia is an ideal case for analyzing how ministerial leaders inspired disaffected citizens. Western Virginians, relegated to the fringe of a state political structure dominated by eastern Virginia‘s slaveholding oligarchy, believed that their political system had failed them. They felt powerless to institute the political and economic reforms necessary to develop their region in the image of free-soil Ohio and Pennsylvania. Unable to seek redress through their political leaders, westerners turned to the traveling ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) to voice their discontent. MEC ministers actively defended western interests and cloaked them in a moral legitimacy that broadened their appeal to previously apathetic, isolated residents. Their ministry drew a fierce response from their opponent, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MECS). The MEC repelled these attacks and by 1861 far outpaced the MECS in members and political influence and boasted a following larger than any political party in the region. When conservative political leaders abandoned their offices and embraced the Confederacy upon the outbreak of the Civil War, MEC itinerants filled the void in political leadership, held western Virginia in the Union, and championed its statehood.

  • Archives and History AGENCIES of the ANNUAL CONFERENCE
    West Virginia Annual Conference Journal 2019 Section VII -- Reports AGENCIES OF THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE (Listed alphabetically by area of accountability) Archives and History This past year has been eventful for the Commission on Archives and History. Starting on a low point, the commission met on the Thursday of Annual Conference in 2018 and approved a resolution for the delisting of Pitcher United Methodist Church as a United Methodist historic site because current usage of the former church no longer represents a connection to the history of Methodism in Marion County. This action was not taken lightly but was necessitated by unusual circumstances. The resolution was approved by Annual Conference and the site’s delisting has been noted on the General Commission on Archives and History’s Web site. On a happy Annual Conference note, at the Board of Pensions Retirees luncheon, the chair had the honor of presenting Lawrence F. Sherwood with the Ministry of Memory Award given by the Historical Society of The United Methodist Church. Sherwood is the longest serving member of the West Virginia Annual Conference. A longtime member of the West Virginia United Methodist Historical Society, he was a society trustee in the early 1950s when Rehoboth was designated a Methodist shrine. In 2018, the commission authorized a digitization project at the Methodist Archives, housed at West Virginia Wesleyan College, that will continue for several years and will benefi t scholars and researchers. In the fi rst phase, the Methodist Episcopal journals of the Western Virginia/West Virginia Annual Conference from 1848 to 1939 were digitized.
