Methodism General Information Methodism is the name given to a group of Protestant churches that arose from the 18th century Wesleyan movement in England led by John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield. Although centered in the British Isles and North America, Methodism has spread worldwide. The total world community is estimated at more than 38 million; the largest single group is the United Methodist Church in the United States, with about 10 million members. The origins of Methodism are inseparable from the careers of the Wesley brothers. In 1738, influenced by the Moravians, they organized small "societies" within the Church of England for religious sharing, Bible study, prayer, and preaching. Doctrine was based on an Arminian interpretation of the Thirty Nine Articles but emphasized personal experience of conversion, assurance, and sanctification. The Wesleys and their associate Whitefield traveled widely, preaching to large and enthusiastic crowds of working people. The movement spread through most of England. A striking growth took place in Ireland, and to lesser extent in Wales and Scotland. To preserve personal fellowship, "bands" and "class meetings" were formed, and the whole was brought together (1744) by John Wesley in the British Conference.

Contributed by Tara van Brederode Geography of the Region History of the Mission at Almora John Henry Budden The other building was used for a school (Walton, 1911; Badley, 1931). The formal opening of the mission work took place on August 7, 1851 (Badley, 1931). The school building was later determined to be inadequate, and another building was secured (Badley, 1931). In 1851, the mission scholars numbered 87, under Mr. Rebsch, who served as schoolmaster and mission assistant until the end of 1851 (Badley, 1931). In 1852, an Indian headmaster was appointed for the Almora mission school (Badley, 1931). In 1871, the mission school was relocated to a more spacious building in the center of town, on a site formerly occupied by the palace of the Almora rajas, and later by Government buildings (Badley, 1931). In 1886, the high school became known as Ramsay College and was affiliated with Calcutta University (Lovett, 1899; Badley, 1931). Mrs. John Henry Budden, assisted by her daughter, Mary Budden, and by Mrs. Mather of the LMS in Mirzapur, started a Girls' School (Badley, 1931). When Mrs. Budden died in 1859, her daughters continued the work of the school (Lovett, 1899). By 1909, the girls' school, which was then supervised by Mary Budden, had 117 scholars (Walton, 1911; Badley, 1931). Mary Budden also established a Hospital for Women (Badley, 1931). Other mission work in Almora included boys' and girls' orphanages and a refuge for homeless women (Walton, 1911). Budden Memorial Church, Almora

A Brief History of The United Methodist Church in America John Wesley (1703-1791) Methodism began as a renewal movement within the Church of England, not as a separate sect. John Wesley did not set out to form a new church. He always maintained that Methodists were part of the Anglican Church, and encouraged his foll o wers to part icipate in Anglican services and sacraments whenever possible. The Methodist movement spread rapidly in the colonies. First Lay Societies Organized in the 1760s Methodism in America began as a lay movement. In New York in 1766, a small society was started by Philip Embury and Barbara Heck. In 1768 they build the John Street Church. Societies were also organized in Maryland, by Robert Strawbridge, a revivalist; in Philadelphia, by Thomas Webb (who had often preached to the New York group); and in Virginia, by Deveraux Jarrat (an evangelical clergyman). Missionaries Sent to America in 1769 In 1769, John Wesley sent his first preachers to America to take charge. Later, Francis Asbury, Richard Wright, George Shadford and Thomas Rankin were also assigned to the colonies. (Rankin was appointed superintendent over American Methodist activities.) Wesley supported England in the war, so in many colonies it was dangerous to be Methodist. The British preachers returned to Englandall but Asbury, who worked tirelessly and at great risk to keep the societies together. Three new churches were formed in the U.S., all sharing a common purpose, spirit and love.

The group, which included both General Secretary Bob Edgar and President Elenie Huszagh of the National Council of Churches USA, warned that the human cost might far outweigh the gain of such an attack, and that they do not believe it has been proven that "all reasonable alternative means of containing Iraq’s development of weapons of mass destruction have been exhausted."

CHAPTER THREE EARLY YEARS OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH January 3, 1785-December At the Christmas Conference, which was held in Lovely Lane Chapel, Baltimore, beginning December 24, 1784 , one of the first acts of the newly formed Methodist Episcopal Church was to provide for the beginning of Cokesbury College . They took up a collection for the college, receiving 45 pounds and 16 shillings. Thus Coke and Asbury drew up the following plans for erecting the college. BALTIMORE MARYLAND January 3, 1785 A plan for erecting a college, intended to advance religion in America , to be presented to the principal members and friends of the Methodist Episcopal Church: The College is to be built at Abingdon, in Maryland , on a healthy spot, enjoying a fine air and very extensive prospect. It is to receive for education and board the sons of the elders and preachers of the Methodist Church , poor orphans, and the sons of the subscribers and of other friends. It will be expected that all our friends who send their children to the college, will, if they be able, to pay a moderate sum for their education, and board; the rest will be taught and boarded, and, if our finances will allow it, clothed, gratis. The institution is also intended for the benefit of our young men who are called to preach, that they may receive a measure of that improvement which is highly expedient as a preparative for public service. A teacher of the languages, with an usher, will be provided, as H'l also an English master to teach with the utmost propriety both to read and speak the English language; nor shall any other branch of literature be omitted which may be thought necessary for any of the students. Above all, special care shall be taken that due attention be paid to the religion and morals of the children; and to the exclusion of all such as continue of an ungovernable temper.

Attoh Ahuma 1863 to 1921 Methodist / African Methodist Episcopal Zion Ghana Attoh Ahuma was a ghanaian churchman, a journalist and a celebrated nationalist campaigner. Originally his name was Samuel R. B. Solomon, born on 22 December 1963, son of the Reverend James Solomon of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. After going to school at the Wesleyan elementary school and high school in Cape Coast and then at Richmond College in the same town, he was ordained a minister in 1888. In the 1890s Reverend Solomon became a celebrated journalist and a nationalist campaigner. He edited the Gold Coast Methodist Times and used it to protest against British rule. In 1897 the newspaper headed the campaign against the Lands Bill and Reverend Solomon helped found the Aborigines Rights Protection Society (ARPS) to protest against the bill. After an article entitled "Colony or Protectorate: Which?" the Wesleyan Mission authorities, upset at Reverend Solomon's political activism, removed him from the ministry that same year. The Methodist Times collapsed when he ceased to be editor.
