The author provides the documents, and his personal account of the proceedings to shed light on the issues that were dividing the church at that time and highlights the power dynamics between traveling preachers and local preachers. It offers a glimpse into the history of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the challenges faced by local preachers, and the role of ecclesiastical courts in resolving internal disputes.

About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from An Appeal to the Public, or an Exposition of the Conduct of Rev. Isaac Jennison and Others, in Ludlow, in the Months of February and March, 1828: Also, an Address to the Local Preachers of the Methodist Episcopal Church; With Remarks on the Government, Discipline and Monied System of Said Church

As to, the charges preferred against me at my first trial, it may not be improper to introduce those only, on which the' greatest stress was laid, and to prove which, extraordinary exertions were made, but to no effect. This I do to convince the reader that I am correct in believing that it was the object of my opponents to break up the connexion existing between me and, the Methodist Legal'l Society in Ludlow, and to take the chapel, church, and society into their own hands.
