Religion and the British Methodist Episcopal Church T he church was the most important institution in most Black communities. Church leaders were often spokespersons to the larger community. The denominations were usually Baptist or Methodist. Baptist congregations encouraged a democratic participation by the election of their ministers. Black Methodists, coldly received in White congregations, turned to the African Methodist Episcopal church, which entered the colony from the United States in 1838 and by 1840 had organized an Upper Canada Conference. The Conference was instrumental in supplying the church with ministers and sending bishops occasionally to oversee its work. In 1856, feelings arose that reforms had to take place, and an independent British Methodist Episcopal Church was formed. A British Methodist Episcopal (BME) Church was started in Guelph in 1870, in a frame building on Market Street. Rev. Thomas Jefferson was pastor. The original congregation was comprised of former fugitive slaves from the United States. On September 18, 1880, numerous citizens gathered to witness the laying of the cornerstone of the new stone church on Essex Street. T he 1882-83 Guelph City Directory described the church as a "stone building, in course of completion but sufficiently advanced to enable public services to be held in it; when finished it will have a seating capacity of 300. The estimated cost of the building is $2,000". The BME church offered public services at 11 am and 6:30 pm, as well as a Sabbath School at 3 pm. Prayer meetings were held every Thursday and the Rev. Junius B. Roberts presided over the church's 40 members.

The Methodist Articles of Religion Jump to the Articles Short Explanations Methodist study materials Preface (Unofficial) [Bibliographical Note: The Articles of Religion are here reprinted from the Discipline of 1808 (when the first Restrictive Rule took effect), collated against Wesley's original text in The Sunday Service of the Methodists (1784).] I Explanation: The Methodist Articles of Religion are a statement of how Methodists interpret the Holy Scriptures given to man by the Holy Spirit, consisting of the 39 books of the Hebrew Bible, commonly referred to by Christians as the Old Testament, and the 27 books of the New Testament. Methodists are "followers" of John and Charles Wesley in the sense that we agree with their theology, i.e., their interpretation of Scripture. It is important to understand that like Protestant Reformers such as Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli, the Wesleys did not claim any new revelation II Several of the Articles directly refute specific Roman Catholic doctrines or practices, e.g., Articles 5, 7, 9, 10, 13-21. Without an understanding of the Catholic doctrines, the particular Article cannot be correctly understood. It is also important to realize that the average Protestant, even the average Protestant ordained clergy , is not familiar with the particulars of Catholic doctrines such as the Catholic Mass, transubstantiation, and "salvation by grace"

Home Theology Topics Historical Theology Christian Creeds ... this page The Twenty-Five Articles of Religion Methodist Dennis Bratcher, ed. The Twenty-five Articles of Religion of the Methodist Church, from the Discipline of 1808 collated against Wesley's original text in The Sunday Service of the Methodists These 25 Articles of Religion were John Wesley's adaptation of the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion from the Anglican Church in which Wesley had been a priest. Several of the Articles are aimed directly at distinguishing the beliefs held by Wesley, as well as by Anglicans, from Roman Catholicism. These especially relate to the basis of religious authority (Articles 5-6), justification by grace through faith (Articles 9-11), the nature of the church (Articles 13, 22), the rejection of the doctrine of purgatory (Article 14), the rejection of services in Latin (Article 15), the nature of the sacraments and the rejection of the concept of the Mass (Articles 16-20), and the rejection of a celibate clergy (Article 21). Two of the articles (7, 8) also clearly reject Pelagianism, a heresy contending that human beings are capable of choosing God by exercising their own inherent free will without the necessity of grace. While Wesley never held this position in even a modified form, he was often accused of doing so by Calvinists promoting total predestination and the lack of

31. The Relgious Nature Of Scientology Dr. Parrinder, methodist Minister and Professor of the Comparative Study of religions University of London, on the controversy as to whether Scientology is a religion. http://www.religiousapartheid.org/critiques/ENG/ThreeExpertises/ba7.htm

The Religious Nature of Scientology GEOFFREY PARRINDER Professor of the Comparitive Study of Religions University of London I must make it clear that I am not a Scientologist, on the contrary I am an ordained Methodist Minister of over forty years standing. I have no brief for the beliefs and practices of Scientology and might be critical of some of them. I know that complaints have been made against some aspects of the practice of Scientology. But I am concerned with religious freedom, which is essential to a democratic society. It seems contrary to religious toleration that the founder of Scientology, Lafayette Ron Hubbard , should be barred from entering the United Kingdom, unless some crime can be proved against him. And it also seems wrong to me that Scientologists should not be allowed to register their places of worship on the grounds indicated above. In 1971 I was approached by representatives of Scientology, since my interest in the meaning of religion was known from my writings and my position as Professor of the Comparative Study of Religions in the University of London. I examined literature sent to me, including the transcript of the proceeding at the Appeal Courts, and I thought it well to gain first hand information by meeting representatives of the movement several times and visiting their British headquarters. Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, is an old enlarged building with adequate but not very extensive grounds. My visit had been arranged but, as often happens, I arrived half an hour early and was able to wander round on my own for some time. From rumours about the Scientologists, I half imagined that there would be a guard at the entrance, or even guard dogs, but everything was open and I drove unnoticed into the car park. Then I went into buildings where students were at work, saw class rooms open, and finally entered the chapel which was like many a Free Church building.

The United Methodist Church Profile History Beliefs Organization ... Bibliography I. Group Profile Name: The United Methodist Church Founders: Although the United Methodist Church is actually the current result of several schisms and mergers within and among different churches, the United Methodist Church considers its founder to be John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement. Date of Birth: John Wesley was born in 1703 in England. He died in 1791. Date/Place Founded: Wesley founded The Methodist Church in London in 1739. However, the church that we know today as the United Methodist Church was not founded until April 23, 1968 in Dallas, Texas as a result of the unification of The Methodist Church and The Evangelical United Brethren Church. Sacred or Revered Texts: The Bible Other Important Texts: The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (first edition, 1972), as well as Wesley's Sermons , his Notes on the New Testament , the Twenty-five Articles of Religion, and the Minutes in Conference Cult or Sect: Negative sentiments are typically implied when the concepts "cult" and "sect" are employed in popular discourse. Since the Religious Movements Homepage seeks to promote religious tolerance and appreciation of the positive benefits of pluralism and religious diversity in human cultures, we encourage the use of alternative concepts that do not carry implicit negative stereotypes. For a more detailed discussion of both scholarly and popular usage of the concepts "cult" and "sect," please visit our
