  • The Form and Function of Methodist Autobiography
    The Form and Function of Methodist Autobiography Michael K. Turner I. INTRODUCTION Between 1778 and 1860 a large number of Methodist autobiographies were published in religious magazines, journals, and book formats in both the United States and England. While enjoying a large circulation, the autobiographies were originally intended for an audience consisting chiefly of ministers. The goal of these accounts were to educate preachers and, hence, work toward bringing them into conformity with one another. Instead, as the genre expanded in popularity, it became a vehicle of dissent. II. THE METHODIST NARRATIVE The narratives and autobiographical patterns crafted by nineteenth-century Methodists drew and expanded upon the model propagated by the denomination’s founder, John Wesley. From 1778 until his death in 17911 John Wesley published a series of personal accounts written by English Methodists in his monthly periodical, The Arminian Magazine. These accounts were formative in establishing religious biography as an integral part of Methodist devotion. Wesley created The Arminian Magazine as a response to Calvinist periodicals, particularly The Spiritual Magazine and The Gospel Magazine. The founding intention of this English magazine was, thus, to promote a belief in the universal availability of salvation. As such, Wesley sought to only include those elements in the magazine that contributed to the spreading of this doctrine. The journal, thus, was organized in a four- part format. The first section of the magazine consisted of theological tracts which defended the “grand Christian doctrine, ‘God willeth all men to be saved, and to come to 1 The periodical was published through 1797. It continued the practice of publishing these “accounts.” 2 the knowledge of truth.’”2 To meet this purpose, Wesley included in the periodical, carefully edited works of divines who looked, sounded, or could be made to look or sound like “Arminians.”3 The second part of the journal was a biographical account of a “holy” person.

  • Step up to Leadership at General Conference
    The United Methodist Church: Governance and Structure GOVERNANCE United Methodists are sometimes asked where their church is headquartered, or what officer is “in charge.” Deliberately, The United Methodist Church has no single central office, no archbishop, no pope. This reflects the representative nature of the church's organization – which also provides a system of checks and balances. The church created a system that in some ways parallels that of the U.S. government when it came to America. The church has a General Conference, its legislative branch; a Council of Bishops, somewhat like an executive branch; and a nine-member Judicial Council, the judicial branch. It’s helpful to recognize the structure of the church, but it is the mission, ministry and love of God through Jesus Christ that is of primary importance. GENERAL CONFERENCE Who makes decisions for The United Methodist Church if there is no one person in charge? Good question. The only body that can set official policy and speak for the denomination is the General Conference. The General Conference is an international body of nearly 1,000 delegates that meets every four years. The delegates are elected by annual conferences (at annual conference sessions) to attend General Conference. They represent all annual conferences around the world. Half of the delegates are laity (non-clergy members), half are clergy. Bishops attend the General Conference but cannot vote. Different bishops serve as presiding officers during the conference. Other bishops cannot speak unless permission is specifically granted by the delegates. During General Conference, delegates discuss and vote on petitions and resolutions proposed by individuals, agencies, annual conferences, and other groups within the denomination.

  • History of the Rayto Methodist Church Rayto , Georgia by Miss Christine Davidson Brown, Sharon
    HISTORY OF THE RAYTO METHODIST CHURCH RAYTO , GEORGIA BY MISS CHRISTINE DAVIDSON BROWN, SHARON , RAYTOWN METHODIST CHURCH The loss of the original recorda of the Raytown Methodist Church, Taliaferro County, Georgia, presumed to have been destroyed by fire in the home of the late Samuel J. Flynt, long a Steward and Superin­ tendent of the Sunday School, renders impossible the compilation of a full and detailed account of its early and intensely interesting his­ tory. All the more important, therefore, is the obligation of the pres­ ent to preserve its records for the future. From the traditions handed down to us by the oldest members of the com­ munity, we learn that Raytown, or "Ray's Place lt as it was called, then in Wilkes County, was named for a Ray family from New York and living at that time in Washington. So far as is known this family was in no way related to the Barnett - Ray family so prominently identified with the history of Raytown in more receJ;lt years. "Ray's Place lt was the designation given to the recreation center established on Little River where racing, gambling, cock-fighting, drinking, and other favorite pastimes of the livelier social set of near-by Washington could be enjoyed without any, to them, undue and undesired restraint. As is often the history of such places, ItRay's Place lt had its day, its popularity declined, and for what reason we do not know, nor care, the Ray family returned to New York. EVen here we mourn the loss of our early church recordst Truly, it would prove most pertinent to our purpose if further research into the still intact records of old Wilkes should show that the decline and fall of "Ray's Place lt were marked by the coming of Methodism.

  • Holston Methodism
    HOLSTON METHODISM REV. THOMAS STRINGFIELD. HOLSTON METHODISM FROM ITS ORIGIN TO THE PRESENT TIME. By R. N. PRICE. VOLUME III. From the Year 1824 to the Year 1844. Nashville, Tenn.; Dallas, Tex.: Publishing House of the M. E. Church, South. Smith & Lamar, Agents. 1908. Entered, according to Aet of Congress, in the year 190S, By R. N. Pkice, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. The tardiness with which the successive volumes of this work have been issued has evidently abated somewhat the interest of preachers and people in it; but this tardiness has grown out of circumstances which I have not been able to control. There is more official matter in this volume than in its predecessors, making it a little less racy than the oth- ers; but the official matter used is of considerable historic value. Thus while the volume is heavier than the others as to entertaining qualities, it is also heavier as to historic importance. The chapters on Stringfield, Fulton, Patton, Sevier, Brownlow, and the General Conference of 1844 are chapters of general interest and thrilling import, not on ac- count of ability in the writing, but on account of the in- trinsic value of the matter recorded. I owe my Church an explanation for dwelling so much at length upon the life of Senator Brownlow. It is my busi- ness to record history, not to invent it. A Methodist preach- er who lived as long as Brownlow did, was constantly be- fore the public, took an active part in theological and eccle- siastical controversies, was so gifted and was such a pro- digious laborer, must necessarily have made much history, which could not be ignored by an honest historian.

The primary research question is defined as: “To what extent do the dialogues under analysis relate to Arminian soteriology?” By seeking an answer to this question, new knowledge is sought on the current soteriological position of the Methodist-Lutheran dialogues, the contemporary Methodist theology and the commonalities between the Lutheran and Arminian understanding of soteriology. This way the soteriological picture of the Methodist-Lutheran discussions is clarified. The dialogues under analysis were selected on the basis of versatility. Firstly, the sole world organisation level dialogue was chosen: The Church – Community of Grace. Additionally, the document World Methodist Council and the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is analysed as a supporting document. Secondly, a document concerning the discussions between two main-line churches in the United States of America was selected: Confessing Our Faith Together.

  • Current Structure of the United Methodist Church
    Current Structure of the United Methodist Church 3 Branches of Government 1. Legislative—Conference 2. Executive—Bishops 3. Judicial—Judicial Council Legislative • The Conference: The global United Methodist Church (UMC) is divided into conferences and regions for connection and accountability • The General Conference: is the official governing body of the UMC, akin to our nation’s congress. Regions around the world send elected delegates, equal number clergy and laity, to the session of General Conference, held every four years. The General Conference debates and votes upon petitions and resolutions seeking changes to our governing document, the Book of Discipline. o The Book of Discipline: consists of several different types of legislation. The constitution of the UMC can only be changed by a vote of General Conference and 2/3 ratification of all Annual Conferences globally. The Social Principles are ongoing discussions on our stance as a denomination on social issues, and it is very comprehensive. The articles of religion are our statement of core beliefs.

    .,.,..,.. r,r r ~ .: ·. ' Methodist History, 31:1 (October 1992) "THE ADVANTAGES OF LIBERTY": DEMOCRATIC THOUGHT IN THE FORMATION OF THE METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURCH RICK NUTT It has long been observed that the reason the Methodist movement proved overwhelmingly successful in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was its concern for the commoner.
