An important aspect running throughout is that the continuation of Methodism depends chiefly on its people rather than its buildings, and on enthusiasm and dedication rather than strict adherence to forms of worship and ecclesiastical dogma. What could best be described as anarchy may conceivably result from recognition of the equal status of all believers in the eyes of God, thus there must be a framework of authority to ensure that order is maintained. Breakaway movements depend heavily on the charisma of their leadership. All of the above considerations apply in some degree to the formation and subsequent re-absorption of the several streams of Methodism traced in the articles we here publish. The Wesley Historical Society is ever conscious of the necessity to assemble historical information before the people who are conversant with it pass on from this present stage. To this end Journal 77 concentrates on the breakaway streams of Methodism that made such a positive contribution to the promotion of Christianity in New Zealand that it demands to be recorded in readily accessible form. -

1 Methodism and Abstinence
Methodism and Abstinence: a History of The Methodist Church and Teetotalism Submitted by Jonathan Paul Curtis to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology In February 2016 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 2 Methodism and Abstinence: a History of The Methodist Church and Teetotalism Abstract: This thesis has two overarching aims. The first aim is to understand the origins and development of temperance and abstinence in British Methodism, particularly through the theology that informed what may broadly be called the Methodist teetotal movement in its period of greatest popularity from 1830 until 1919. The second is to consider the downfall of this movement in the period from 1945 until 1974, when the Methodist Connexion adopted the view that each Methodist “must consider his personal attitude to all drugs in relation to his Christian vocation”.1 The need for the study arises from the relative dearth of historical investigation regarding Methodism and abstinence. Representations of Methodism and abstinence tend either to be partisan or to lack wider understanding of the abstinence movement, or the theology of Methodism. Methodologically, this thesis attempts to hold together historical and theological considerations; it is important to consider both the socio-economic contexts in which diverse abstinence and teetotal movements arose and the theological motivations that drove British Methodist belief and practice. -
March 2014 for All Residents and Visitors Over 50
The Camelfordian EDITORIAL I don’t know if it’s me, but I am becoming increasingly irritated by the fact that, although we have had a great variety of weather, we only seem to be able to think of a handful of things to say about it. Be honest, have you used any of the following lately? a) (During a sunny spell) What’s that up in the sky? b) Nice weather for ducks. c) I’m looking forward to the hose-pipe ban. d) (On replying to “I’m looking forward to Summer”) We had Summer last Tuesday afternoon. Come on Camelford! My old Mother always used to tell me, “If you’ve nothing useful to say, keep quiet.” And so I suggest, whether you agree or not, that we either try to invent some new and witty retorts or simply grin and bear it. We would love to hear from you and will include the best in our next issue. Press Release from Camelford Police FOR THE ATTENTION OF ALL LOCALS TO ST TEATH, DELABOLE AND CAMELFORD. Approximately 60 car tyres were left on the road side in the St Teath area. Camelford police are appealing to anyone who knows anything about this to please contact 101 quoting crime number bc/14/35.

Wesley Historical Society Editor: REV
Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: REV. JOHN C. BOWMER, M.A., B.O. Volume XXXV June 1965 A NOTE UPON THE STATE OF THE CHURCH IN NORTH DEVON AT THE TIME OF THE EARLY BIBLE CHRISTIANS HE deplorably low state of the Church in the Georgian era is so widely accepted as a fact that it is commonly held to need T no verification, and in no part of Britain is it thought to have been lower than in North Devon, where the Bible Christian move ment began in 1815.1 So universally accepted is this judgement of the Church of the period that it is with surprise, and at first with in credulity, that one comes upon evidence of spiritual life. It is inherently improbable that the age was in fact as bad as has been represented, and that, for instance, of the 127 parishes of the Barnstaple archdeaconry in only one or two was there any approach to religious ministry. The clergy were required to read the services of the Book of Common Prayer, including long passages from the Bible, and were thus constantly reminded of the facts of sin and re demption, of the means of grace, and of the hope of glory. Did these repeated words fall almost always on deaf ears? It is well known that Charles Simeon (1759-1836) owed his conversion to the fact that he found himself required, as an undergraduate of King's Col lege, Cambridge, to receive the Holy Communion in chapel. He prepared himself by reading Bishop Wilson's Short and Plain In struction for the better understanding of the Lord's Supper. -
1 Exploring Methodism
EXPLORING METHODISM: WOMEN IN METHODISM Preface The part played by women in Methodism can hardly be over emphasised, though that emphasis varied in different periods in history as both the denomination developed and the social perception of the role of women altered. So, simply for convenience and in true Methodist fashion (!) this account will be divided broadly into three periods: (1) Early Methodism, up to 1803 - chiefly John Wesley’s own period and the immediate aftermath following his death in 1791. (2) 1803-1880s - with particular reference to the use of women in the non-Wesleyan denominations. (3) 1880s -1932 - the developing and changing roles of women and working towards Methodism Union. A few references to later developments, often name changes, may be included where it makes sense to follow through the story In each period brief accounts of the lives and work of a few women will act as examples of the part played by women in Methodism. Author’s Note It is important to emphasise that this project is chiefly a ‘gathering together’ of material from many sources rather than original research. The hope is that readers will find it helpful in tracking down subjects of specific interest to their own research. It is very much ‘a work in progress’ and obviously much more could be added in all the areas covered. 1 Introduction Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, the official statistics of Methodism do not give a break down of the membership figures by gender, so we cannot tell how many women were members. Even if it were possible, however, there would need to be taken into account the many hundreds who were and are attracted to the denomination for one reason or another, but not actually listed as members. -
Centennial of Canadian Methodism
JOHN WESLEY. DiedIMarch 2nd, 1791. Born January 17th, 1703. • The best of all is, God is with us. : CENTENNIAL OF Canadian Methodism PUBLISHED BY DIRECTION OF THE GENERAL CONFERENCE. TORONTO WILLIAM BRIGGS, we s l !: y build i s <; s. Montreal: C. W. COATF.S. Halifax: S. F. IIUFSTIS. Entered according to the Act of the Parliament of Canada, in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-one, by William Briggs, in the office of the Minister of Agriculture, at Ottawa. ! PREFACE, T N this book representatives of the different branches of which the united Methodist Church in this country is now com- posed, give from their respective points of view a brief record of the historical development of Methodism in this land. No con- trol is sought to be exercised over the expression of individual opinion. It is possible that in the treatment of what were at the time strongly disputed topics, there may be expressed some variety of judgment ; but as these are now dead issues, with respect to which we can agree to differ, it is thought best to leave untouched such expressions. It is a happy thought that at the close of the first century of Methodism in Canada all these causes of dispute and of difference between brethren are now laid aside, and that we can calmly survey what was once a hotly disputed field. At no previous period in the history of Methodism in this land could this have been possible, and in no other land beneath the sun is it possible yet.
