Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins of Methodist ecclesiastical polity, tracing the history of the Conference idea from the first informal gathering of Methodist ministers in 1744. The author shows how this early group, composed of both ordained clergy and lay preachers, gradually evolve…d into a fully-fledged governing body with the authority to make decisions for the entire Methodist movement. Against the backdrop of 18th-century Methodism, this work explores the complex relationship between John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, and the Conference. It examines how Wesley's initial reluctance to cede power gave way to a recognition of the need for a self-governing body that could perpetuate Methodism beyond his lifetime. Through a detailed analysis of archival records, the book sheds light on the theological and practical challenges faced by the early Methodists as they sought to establish a viable and enduring ecclesiastical structure. The author's insights into the interplay between charismatic leadership and institutional governance offer a valuable perspective on the development of Methodism. Ultimately, this book is a significant contribution to the study of Methodist history, providing a comprehensive account of the origins and evolution of the Conference, and highlighting its pivotal role in shaping the Methodist movement.
