This book examines the democratic nature of the Methodist Episcopal Church, discussing how its structure and practices reflect the democratic ideals of its founders and members. The author traces the history of Methodist polity, from its origins in the teachings of John Wesley to the present day, highlighting the church's commitment to representative government, the rule of law, and the participation of all members in its governance. Through an analysis of Methodist history and polity, the book challenges the notion that Methodism is an autocratic institution, arguing instead that it is a vibrant and dynamic democracy that has played a significant role in the development of American religious and political thought.
