Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the history and evolution of the presiding eldership and episcopacy during the formative years of American Methodism. Drawing from the letters and records of the time, the author follows the development of the church in America from its genesis in the efforts of John Wesley to its status as the diverse, worldwide communion it is today. The text seeks to trace the development and principles of what became the most successful Protestant church in America. The author traces the unique attributes of the Methodist presiding eldership and episcopacy to their beginnings in John Wesley and the first American conferences. He gives special attention to the Christmas Conference of 1784 and the subsequent development of an itinerant episcopal system.
