Methodism The Methodist movement is a group of denominations of Protestant Christianity. The Wesleyan revival The Methodist revival originated in England. It was started by John Wesley, his younger brother Charles and George Whitefield as a movement within the Church of England in the 18th century, focused on Bible study, and a methodical approach to scriptures. The term "Methodist" was a pejorative college nickname that was bestowed upon a small society of students at Oxford, who met together between 1729 and 1735 for the purpose of mutual improvement. They were accustomed to communicate every week, to fast regularly and to abstain from most forms of amusement and luxury. They also frequently visited poor and sick persons and prisoners in the gaol.

Protestant Methodist Church founded 1839 Sands Street Methodist Episcopal Church. From the remnant of the first class ever formed in Brooklyn, who were living in 1831, the Rev. Noah Levings learned that the pioneer of Methodism here was Thomas Webb, a captain in the British army, who began to preach "in his own hired house," near the barracks, in New York, as early as 1766. Subsequently he visited Brooklyn, then a rural hamlet, and preached salvation, by grace through faith, to the Dutch inhabitants; how often, we know not, but it is certain that he formed no class here. He afterwards visited Newtown, and Jamaica, in which place he planted the gospel; large crowds everywhere being drawn together to see and listen to a preacher uniting in himself the apparently irreconcilable characters Of warrior and a messenger of peace. The second man of whose preaching in Brooklyn we have any information, was Woolman Hickson, who is described as having a promising genius, and considerable abilities as a preacher; but he was snatched away from his useful career, by consumption, having labored seven months in the ministry. His first sermon in Brooklyn was delivered in the open air from a table, in what is now called Sands street, and directly in front of the site of the present Methodist Episcopal church. An offer made by him, at the close of his discourse, to visit the village again, if any one present would open their house for preaching, was accepted by a Mr. Peter Cannon, a cooper, living near the ferry. And at his cooper shop, which he prepared for the accommodation of the people as best he could, the early disciples of Methodism worshiped for some time. Mr. Hickson, in a short time, about 785 or '86, formed a class of several members, and from that time Brooklyn continued to be visited occasionally by the preachers stationed in New York. The whole of Long Island, at that time, formed but one circuit, having a single preacher attached to it.

88. A Brief History Of The Methodist Church In Canada miles North of Toronto claiming to be the legal conference of the Canadian MethodistEpiscopal Church, and that those who had joined the british had actually http://www.smokylake.com/history/missions/methodist.htm

A Brief History of the Politics of the Methodist Church in Canada Most of the early Methodist preachers in Canada were American, many of them loyalists. But in 1814 or so the British Wesleyans sent some preachers to Britain to a post in Nova Scotia, at the request of the people in that area, but to the distress of the American Methodists. Over the next while more and more British Weslyans came. By 1817 there were some 166 followers of the Weslyans and about 3,301 followers of the American Methodists. By 1820 those numbers had grown to 744 British Weslyans and 5,991 Methodist Episcopals. (Oliver, 113) In 1820 American Methodists in the Upper Canada were petitioning the American Conference to get the British Weslyans to stop competing with them. A number of them also wanted to have a separate annual conference for Canada. The former of those issues was dealt with first and an agreement was made that the American Methodists gave up Lower Canada to the British Weslyans and the British Weslyans gave up Upper Canada (with the exception of Kingston, which was a military location, and therefore had a lot of British soldiers). (Oliver 113) The first Canadian Conference met on August 25, 1824 and a Missionary Society was formed as an Auxiliary to the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. By May 1827 the American General Conference decided to withdraw jurisdiction from the Canadian Methodists and in 1828 the first independent Canadian Methodist Conference met. (Oliver, 114)

Guelph Museums Introduction Underground Railroad Wellington County Black Settlements Queen's Bush Settlement ... CONTACT US Black History in Guelph and Wellington County: Religion and the British Methodist Episcopal Church The 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.

British Methodist Episcopal Church, Nathaniel Dett Chapel Niagara Falls, Ontario Church-going was the center of the black refugee community in Canada; churches often functioned as meetinghouses, theaters, and gathering places. This church has been in existence since 1814 (when Niagara Falls was known as "Drummondville"), and the building was erected by former slaves in 1836. The chuch was renamed for Robert Nathaniel Dett in 1983, after a former member of the church who became a teacher, musician, and world-traveling choir master.

Français Contact Us Help Search ... Natural Heritage T he building type associated with the refugees that is most likely to have survived is the church. It represented the institution most central to the lives of the Underground Railroad settlers. Churches ministering specifically to the black population were established largely in response to negative attitudes of the white majority, who, while decrying slavery, were often unwilling to accept the formerly enslaved on an equal footing. The black churches became the most visible symbol of the parallel societies that evolved in places where numbers of Underground Railroad refugees settled. The African Methodist Episcopal Church By the 1820s, the American-based African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church had established branches throughout southwestern Ontario. Within a decade it had spread as far east as Toronto and had a membership of some 2,000 congregants. The Nazrey AME Church, hand-built by its congregation and preserved as part of the North American Black Historical Museum in Amherstburg, has been designated a national historic site. The British Methodist Episcopal Church After 1850 and passage of the Fugitive Slave Act, it became increasingly dangerous for African Canadian church officials to travel to the annual conferences of the AME Church in the United States. Desiring a more accessible church government closer to home and anxious to underscore allegiance to their new homeland, members of the AME Church in Canada began to lobby for local self-government of their church. Eventually they succeeded, and in 1856 the British Methodist Episcopal Church (BME) was created. A former AME minister, the Reverend Willis Nazery, was elected as its first bishop. The BME Church continued the growth begun under the AME, establishing congregations not only in Upper Canada but also in Nova Scotia and Bermuda.
