Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 7, 1881, Matthew Simpson, Bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, in a London sermon asserted that, "As to the divisions in the Methodist family, there is little to mar the family likeness." Nearly a quarter-century earlier, Benjamin Titus (B.T.) Roberts, a minister in the same branch of Methodism as Simpson, had published an article titled in the Northern Independent in which he argued that Methodism had split into an "Old School" and "New School." He warned that if the new school were to "generally prevail," then "the glory will depart from Methodism." As a result, Roberts was charged with "unchristian and immoral conduct" and expelled from the Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC). Old or New School Methodism? examines how less than three decades later Matthew Simpson could claim that the basic beliefs and practices that Roberts had seen as threatened were in fact a source of persisting unity across all branches of Methodism. Kevin M. Watson argues that B. T. Roberts's expulsion from the MEC and the subsequent formation of the Free Methodist Church represent a crucial moment of transition in American Methodism. This book challenges understandings of American Methodism that emphasize its breadth and openness to a variety of theological commitments and underemphasize the particular theological commitments that have made it distinctive and have been the cause of divisions over the past century and a half. Old or New School Methodism? fills a major gap in the study of American Methodism from the 1850s to 1950s through a detailed study of two of the key figures of the period and their influence on the denomination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons on Miscellaneous Subjects: By the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the Senior Preachers of the Ohio and North Ohio Conferences A few days, and a circular was issued to those brethren of the Ohio and North Ohio conferences who had been, for many years, in the traveling connection, requesting them to furnish each a sermon for the preposed volume. In the course of a few months, favorable responses were received from a suflicient number of brethren to insure an adequate supply of discourses. The project was, in due time, submitted to the conferences concerned, and it received their hearty approval. As every good undertaking in this wonderful planet of ours meets with Opposition, so did this. Some said, You will give offense to the younger members of the conferences whom you must pass by. Moreover, you may injure feelings, and excite opposition by the necessary rejection of some discourses which may be written for the volume. Others said, The book will not sell; the sermons of our illustrious men are rarely called for. If the logic of Wesley, the eloquence of Watson, and the learning of Clarke, cannot attract the attention of our people, can we, preachers of the wilderness, hope to compose a volume that will command a rapid sale? A third class thought that such a work as was pro posed, would, if generally circulated, do more harm than good. Our itinerant preachers, said they, at quarterly meetings, would, after returning to their lodgings, gather around the fireside, call for the Sermons, and, reading one written by a presiding elder, or sta tioned preacher of their acquaintance, subject it to the ordeal of a severe criticism, and retire to rest with no enviable feelings. The spirit of censorious criticism would pass from traveling to local preachers, from local preachers to exhorters, and from exhorters to the people, much to the prejudice of Zion. But there was an objection more formidable than this: some said, Our theology is too crude. We are not prepared to write for the instruction of those who have a literature as rich as ours.

Download or read book The War Against Proslavery Religion written by John R. McKivigan and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a prodigious amount of research in primary and secondary sources, this book examines the efforts of American abolitionists to bring northern religious institutions to the forefront of the antislavery movement. John R. McKivigan employs both conventional and quantitative historical techniques to assess the positions adopted by various churches in the North during the growing conflict over slavery, and to analyze the stratagems adopted by American abolitionists during the 1840s and 1850s to persuade northern churches to condemn slavery and to endorse emancipation. Working for three decades to gain church support for their crusade, the abolitionists were the first to use many of the tactics of later generations of radicals and reformers who were also attempting to enlist conservative institutions in the struggle for social change. To correct what he regards to be significant misperceptions concerning church-oriented abolitionism, McKivigan concentrates on the effects of the abolitionists' frequent failures, the division of their movement, and the changes in their attitudes and tactics in dealing with the churches. By examining the pre-Civil War schisms in the Presbyterian, Baptist, and Methodist denominations, he shows why northern religious bodies refused to embrace abolitionism even after the defection of most southern members. He concludes that despite significant antislavery action by a few small denominations, most American churches resisted committing themselves to abolitionist principles and programs before the Civil War. In a period when attention is again being focused on the role of religious bodies in influencing efforts to solve America's social problems, this book is especially timely.
