Ultimate record of a historic church governance split

This volume compiles the formal documents surrounding the British Wesleyan Conference’s decision to dissolve its official union with the Upper Canada Conference.

Juxtaposing resolutions, letters, and appendices, it offers a clear view of the dispute, the diplomacy behind the move, and the consequences for Wesleyan Methodism in Canada.

Readers follow the sequence of events from early warnings and parliamentary-style correspondence to the final dissolution, with commentary that helps frame the stakes for both conferences and their missions.

Resolutions and official proceedings from April 1840 and onward
Correspondence between key figures such as Dr. Alder, Mr. Ryerson, and Lord Russell
Appendices that illuminate the legal and historical context of the union
Insight into the organizational principles of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada

Ideal for readers of church history, Canadian religious history, and those interested in 19th‑century ecclesiastical governance.
