And if you'd remarked that even in this historic Pipe Creek community (30 miles northwest of Baltimore) people don't usually go about dressed like this, you'd have been absolutely right. These are descendants of the builder of the log dwelling, steeping them- selves in its lore for their part in the Methodist historical fashion show pictured on pages 26 and 27. That building holds great significance for all Methodists. Records say it was here, in this home, where John Evans lived some 200 years ago. Here, it is claimed, the first Methodist class meeting in America was held in the mid-i76os. Eight attended, including Robert Straw- bridge, the Irish-born lay preacher who brought Methodism to Maryland and who lived nearby [see The Three Roots of American Methodism, November, 1959, page 25]. John Evans—no known relation to the John Evans of later Illinois and Colorado fame [see John Evans, April, page 32] —was one of the neighbors who took care of Strawbridge's plowing, planting, and harvesting while the preacher was out spreading the Gospel. Mrs. Strawbridge fed the friends who helped so generously, and it was while Evans was dining there that she persuaded him to be- come a Christian.

  • Methodism in Hungary 1898-1920
    Methodist History, 47:3 (April 2009) Methodism in Hungary ZOLTÁN KOVÁCS 1898-1920: The Antecedents of Methodist Mission in Hungary and the “Macedonian Call” The first representatives of Methodism in Hungary were Matthew Simpson, a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and William Fairfield Warren, a minister of the New England Conference in 1857 after attending the World Convention of the Evangelical Alliance in Berlin, Germany. Enroute to Constantinople and Palestine following the convention, they interrupted their journey to spend a weekend in the Hungarian capital, Pest-Buda, at invitation of some anti-Habsburg opposition leaders they had met in Germany.1 Five years later Warren, then Professor at the Methodist Episcopal Missionary Institute in Berlin and Ludwig Sigismund Jacoby, founder and superintendent of the Germany Missionary conference, stopped again in Pest-Buda for three days. They were hosted by Adrian van Andel, a former Methodist lay minister in Hamburg who pastored the German-speaking Reformed Affiliated Church in the Hungarian capital.2 Despite these early positive encounters, a perma- nent Methodist work was not established in Hungary until the 1890s. Two circumstances appear to have influenced the beginning of missionary activities at that time. Probably the most important local factor was a group of Swabian men in the Bácska region of southern Hungary. A schoolteacher sub- scribed to Der Christliche Apologete, a periodical published in Cincinnati/Ohio, through which the Christian based temperance circles of Újverbász (Vrbas in Serbia today) and Bácsszenttamás (Srbobran) had learned of Methodism and decided to contact a Methodist minister. The first two attempts to establish a relationship failed, but the young pastor of Vienna, Robert Möller was willing to respond to the invitation.

  • 152 Tracing Reconciliation: Post 1945 the Twenty Years Between
    Methodist History, 51:1 & 2 (October 2012 & January 2013) TRACING RECONCILIATION: POST 1945 HELMUT NAUSNER The twenty years between 1945 and 1965 do not represent a terribly long period of time and yet they are years which were full of dramatic events. Before I begin to speak about Tracing Reconciliation, I think it is important to give you an idea of the extent of the desperation, destruction and trauma in which most countries found themselves at this time. Let us remember that, with the exception of Sweden, Spain, and Portugal, Nazi Germany had the whole of Europe in its power. The Nazis had plun- dered every country financially and economically not only to finance their war effort but also to save the German population from starving to death. The occupation had lasted many years and, in every country, it left deep scars behind, which still affect people today. Each country has its own tale to tell, not only of humiliation and oppression but also of treachery and collabora- tion with the occupying forces. This is not supposed to be an academic paper. Rather I am going to talk from my own personal point of view. I experienced and shared in these years as a child, a student and a young pastor. I In the summer of 2007, my wife and I travelled to Norway and I was astonished to see in just how many places reminders of the German occupa- tion are still to be found. Today many of them are tourist attractions, like, for instance, the bunkers, which the Nazis built at the entrance of Trondheim Fjord.
