Dorothy Graham A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY E. Dorothy Graham Department of Theology University of Birmingham 1986 SYNOPSIS Present day Methodists are often surprised to learn that ‘women in the Ministry’ is not a twentieth century phenomenon; that the Bible Christians and Primitive Methodists had the flexibility and foresight to make valuable use of female preaching talents. This research has concentrated on the women travelling preachers of Primitive Methodism, starting from the premise that there were doubtless far more than was immediately apparent; searching them out; looking at their life and work; their value and influence within the context of the movement itself and in relation to the strata of society to which it chiefly appealed. I have sought to weigh the contemporary arguments about the merits and demerits of female preaching; to look at the gradual decline and ultimate demise of the female itinerant; to see if an explanation for their disappearance could be found in the prevailing social conditions or if the answer lay within Primitive Methodism itself. As Primitive Methodism moved from enthusiastic evangelism towards consolidation so its emphasis shifted and its attitudes developed and changed. The female travelling preachers played a vital, though often little acknowledged, role in the Connexional evolution and it is this role which I have tried to explore and evaluate. (200 words) (Total number of words approximately 100,000) 2 Chosen by God : the Female Itinerants of Early Primitive Methodism : E. Dorothy Graham PREFACE It should be pointed out that as far as possible I have purposely tried not to rely on H.B. Kendall: The Origin and History of the Primitive Methodist Church 2 volumes (n.d. ? 1904) which has been the basis of much of the research into Primitive Methodism, but to seek out other material from extant records and also from the Primitive Methodist Magazine in particular in order to confirm or supplement Kendall’s work. It would be impossible to mention all the people who, over the years, have shown interest and given me encouragement in this project. Staff in Record Offices and Libraries who have tried to trace the almost untraceable, especially those in the John Rylands Library, Manchester and members of the Wesley Historical Society who have answered my queries with patience and good humour. I am grateful to Norfolk Record Office for permission to include copies of local records. Special thanks must be expressed to the Rev. William Leary, the Connexional Archivist of the Methodist Church, who has dealt graciously and helpfully with much questioning and whose work ‘The Ministers of Primitive Methodism’ has been of inestimable value. This work would never have been finished, indeed would probably have been given up long ago, but for the invaluable advice and encouragement of Dr. D. Hugh McLeod, who has endured with great forbearance time-consuming discussions which prodded me into continuing. How he put up with me I will never know, but his trouble has been sincerely appreciated. To all my family and friends many thanks are due for ‘living’ with ‘my women’ for so long, and especially to Linda for her librarianship expertise and advice and to Ian for reproducing Kendall’s photographs so competently. Last, but by no means least I would like to thank Mrs. Sue Bowen who managed to cope admirably with my handwriting and inexpert typing. 3 Chosen by God : the Female Itinerants of Early Primitive Methodism : E.

  • The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain

    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain

    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped.

    Methodist History, 52:4 (July 2014) BOOK REVIEWS John Pritchard, Methodists and Their Mission Societies, 1760-1900. Surrey, England: Ashgate Publishing, 2013. 318 pp. £63. Methodists and Their Mission Societies, 1760-1900, is the first part of a two-volume series by John Pritchard about British Methodist mission work around the world. The publication of this series marks the two hundredth anniversary of the first meeting of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society (WMMS) in October of 1883 in Leeds. Moreover the book updates the 1913 five volume work by G.G. Findlay and W.W. Holdsworth entitled The History of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society (Epworth). The focus of this work is further broadened and includes the mission work of four other denominations (Primitive Methodists, Methodist New Connexion, United Methodist Free Churches and Bible Christians) under the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society to become the Methodist Mission Society in 1932. Pritchard records in great detail the early Methodist mission efforts around the world including the roles of John Wesley, Thomas Coke, Jabez Bunting and other mission proponents. Beginning with the backdrop of six- teenth-century Catholic and late seventeenth-century to early eighteenth-cen- tury German Pietist mission work, the book quickly focuses on the British context. The author describes the priority of the Society for the Promotion of the Gospel (SPG) to provide for the spiritual needs of the colonists before evangelizing native peoples. William Caray’s 1792 Enquiry, which led to the creation of the Baptist Missionary Society, and Thomas Coke’s apoca- lyptic urgency heightened this priority, however the tension between empire and mission to the indigenous remained for several decades—varying from country to country.

    Paper for the Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies, August 2007 History of Methodism Working Group A Calling to Fulfill: Women in 19th Century American Methodism Janie S. Noble In Luke’s account of the resurrection, it is women, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women who take the message of the empty tomb to the apostles (24:10).1 The Old and New Testaments provide other witnesses to women’s involvement in a variety of ministries; the roles for women in the church through time have been equally as varied. Regardless of the official position of the church regarding their roles, women have remained integral to continuation of our faith. Historical restrictions on the involvement of women have been justified both scripturally and theologically; arguments supporting their involvement find the same bases. Even women who stand out in history often did not challenge the practices of their times that confined women to home, family, or the convent. For example, Hildegard of Bingen is considered a model of piety and while she demonstrated courage in her refusal to bend to the demands of clergy, she was not an advocate of change or of elevation of women’s authority in the church. Patristic attitudes have deep roots in the Judeo-Christian traditions and continue to affect contemporary avenues of ministry available to women. Barriers for women in America began falling in the nineteenth century as women moved to increasingly visible activities outside the home. However, women’s ascent into leadership roles in the church that matched the roles of men was much slower than in secular areas.
