There was already a mention in Part II of the study that the Achurch-goers or the sectarian part of the non-Catholic congregation in Svatá Helena were unwilling to put up with what was for them a too secular situation in the community and that they left it in two waves (May 1897-Summer 1898). Now the study takes a doser look at their fate.

This book is held in the Methodist Archives and Research Centre at the John Rylands Library.

ABSTRACT William Holland's Short Account describes church life in the City of London in the 1730s with special reference to the religious societies and their connections with Wesley's “Oxford Methodists.” He shows how the Moravian Peter Böhler's preaching cross-fertilized these networks' High-Church Anglicanism with the Lutheran doctrine of justification by faith alone and thereby sparked the English Evangelical Revival. Recounting the early life of the resulting Fetter Lane Society, which served as the Revival's London headquarters, Holland emphasizes the frequent visits to and from the Morav

Abstract:

The present-day exchange of British and German research into church history can hardly be described as flourishing. Very seldom are historical topics from the other country ever investigated. This even applies to those areas where the paths of German and British church history have met. One notable exception is Professor Reginald Ward, who has not only striven to establish contacts with German church historians, but has also himself published a number of works on German church history. It is therefore only fitting to express appreciation of such amicable relations through the years by a study

In 1884, the American Historical Association was founded. Four years later, in 1888, the American Society of Church History came into being. The two events, the founding of the ASCH as well as of the AHA, belong to the larger saga of late nineteenth century professional formation. In field after field, amateur and patrician endeavours fell before what seemed a common strategy to consolidate, standardize, resource, institutionalize, and professionalize. The relation of the ASCH to the AHA is instructive. The two organizations shared much. Both drew significantly upon the idiom and structures of

Selina Shirley Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon (1707-1791), was one of the central figures in the eighteenth-century evangelical revival. Lady Huntingdon understood herself as an authentic daughter of the Church of England; she labored ceaselessly to bring renewal to the Church she loved. Among her innovations were the employment of lay preachers, the establishment of a ʽConnexionʼ of Methodist chapels within the Church of England, and the founding of the first Methodist theological college (Trevecca) in South Wales. Ironically, the very steps she took to bring renewal to the Church ultimatel

Abstract:

This article considers whether South Africa’s largest mainline Christian denomination, the Methodist Church of Southern Africa, is in danger of embodying or propagating a contemporary form of ‘state theology’. The notion of state theology in the South African context gained prominence through the publication of the ‘Kairos Document’ (1985) – which celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 2015. State theology is deemed inappropriate and harmful to the identity and work of both the Christian church and the nation state. This article presents its consideration of whether the Methodist Church of So

Abstract:

The year 2016 marks the fortieth anniversary of the ordination of women in the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA). This, being a milestone worth celebrating and commemorating, highlights not only the gains but also the challenges that women face in the ministry of the Methodist Church. The implications of the ordination of women for the denomination (and its organisations) have yet to be fully grappled with, interpreted within the changing context of our present society, and understood in light of the patriarchal society within which the Methodist Church operates.

This article attends to unresolved issues in Anglican–Methodist dialogue concerning apostolicity and its connection with the role of the historic episcopate and asks whether there has been progress since Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry [BEM] (1982) in more clearly explaining the relationship between the apostolicity of the whole church and of the historic episcopate. Having explored the theological relationship between apostolicity and the ‘historic episcopate’ – with particular reference to Anglican–Methodist dialogue at an international level, and dialogues in England, Ireland, and the USA –

Abstract: Late in the Civil War, northern missionaries from African Methodist denominations flooded into Kentucky and across the upper South, where they sought new members, especially among Black Methodist congregations. But they encountered resistance from an unexpected foe—the law of church property. White Southern Methodists had prided themselves on their "Mission to the Negroes," and white churchmen used litigation to ensure that Black churches remained in the hands of the proslavery church, even after emancipation.

Abstract:

Developing and growing the church requires great commitment, zeal, and passion. This obligation requires a group of individuals determined to promote a local incarnation of the body of Christ through themselves. In order to develop and grow the church, misionaries need to espouse the discernment of spiritual endowments of the congregation, and inspire them to use these gifts in planting of churches. This initiative affirms the centrality of missionary work in developing and growing the church. The Methodist Church started planting Churches in Kenya 150 years ago. Eventually, the Methodist Chur

Abstract:

The issue of women's priesthood has been a challenge to Christendom in general and the Methodist Church in Nigeria in particular. Little attention has been given to the efforts and contributions of women ministers. Likewise, they have been denied many of their priestly functions as co-workers in the service of God in terms of conducting the Eucharist, baptism, and solemnisation of marriage. The study is empirically based on the findings from 960 respondents out of 1200 questionnaires administered. Findings revealed that Methodist Church Nigeria had ordained more than 50 full-time female minist

Under the combined influence of social culture and regional factors, the church inevitably exhibits both Western architectural styles and regional architectural characteristics.

Abstract The Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England and the British Methodist Church have retained or restored the diaconate. These diaconates remain distinctive and capable of further change.

The first section examines the reassessment of the diaconate of service by John N. Collins.
