Synopsis
How lay leadership reshaped Methodism in America
In this volume, you’ll see how the church moved from clerical rule to shared governance. It traces the long path toward lay representation, from the earliest circuits to modern structures of church government.
The book outlines the forces that widened lay participation, including growth of the denomination and the reform spirit of the age. It highlights key moments that shifted power, such as the Philadelphia Convention of 1852, the vote of 1862, and the eventual consummation in 1872 and beyond. You’ll get concise portraits of bishops and leaders who shaped these changes, along with the institutional threads that connected local churches to national decisions.
- How preachers initially held legislative power and led governance
- How lay trustees and class leaders helped manage property and daily church life
- How major events and conventions advanced lay representation
- How reforms continued into the 19th and early 20th centuries
Ideal for readers of church history and anyone curious about how lay leadership transformed Methodism.
