About this title

Synopsis

The Doctrines And Discipline Of The Methodist Episcopal Church. This edition reproduces the 1874 Doctrines and Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, presenting the doctrinal standards and organizational rules that guided the denomination. The work includes the Articles of Religion and General Rules, the Conferences (General, Annual, District, Quarterly, and Church), and chapters on Ministers and Church Officers, Church Membership, The Means of Grace, and the Administration of Discipline. It also covers church property, finance, and missions, as well as the Ritual for sacraments, ordination, and church ceremonies. The text details trials, appeals, and the processes for deprivations and restorations of credentials, alongside the rules for receiving members and ministers from other churches. Appendices feature pastoral addresses, the boundaries of Annual Conferences, and guidelines for building churches and parsonages. This edition preserves the structure and content of the original 19th-century ritual and governance code that shaped Methodist church life in the South.
