Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an insightful analysis of divisions that took place within the Methodist Episcopal Church in the mid-19th Century. The author argues that slavery was the primary cause of these divisions, but that the actual church schism was sparked by the passage of the 1844 Plan of Separation by the General Conference. The Plan was intended as a compromise to avert a split in the church, but its implementation was conditional on efforts by southern church leaders to quell secessionist sentiment, efforts that never materialized. The author contends that the General Conference did not intend to authorize a division and that the Southern Church's claim to legitimacy rests on a misinterpretation of the Plan's legal status. The book explores the motivations and actions of both sides in the lead up to the schism, shedding light on the complex interplay of religious doctrine and social and political realities that ultimately led to the formation of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
