Objections To Modern Methodism by John Cropp. This 1849 pamphlet offers a pointed critique of the governance of the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion, arguing that itinerant preachers wield an excessive, even unbiblical, authority over local societies. Drawing on Minutes and historical episodes such as the Leeds 1827 controversies and the 1795-1797 pacification, Cropp contends that the current system erodes Christian liberties and undermines the rights of lay members, leaders, and trustees. He advocates restoring the liberties guaranteed by earlier constitutions, reestablishing district-level trials, and implementing safeguards to prevent future abuses. The work combines polemic with documentary quotations to urge reform, while acknowledging areas of value in Methodism and calling for a reformed but cohesive church that remains faithful to its gospel mission.
