Synopsis

The Life Of William Clowes: One Of The Founders Of The Primitive Methodist Connection is a historical biography written by John Davison and originally published in 1854. The book tells the story of William Clowes, a prominent figure in the early days of the Primitive Methodist movement in England.Clowes was born in 1780 and began his career as a potter, but he soon became involved in the Methodist movement and was ordained as a preacher in 1805. He quickly rose through the ranks of the Methodist Church, but he became disillusioned with some of the practices of the Church and left to join the newly-formed Primitive Methodist movement in 1811.Clowes became one of the most influential leaders of the Primitive Methodist movement, traveling extensively throughout England and preaching to large crowds. He also played a key role in the establishment of the Primitive Methodist Connection, which became one of the largest nonconformist denominations in England.The Life Of William Clowes is a detailed account of Clowes' life and work, drawing on a variety of sources including personal letters and diaries. The book provides a fascinating insight into the early days of the Primitive Methodist movement and the challenges faced by its leaders as they sought to establish a new form of Christianity in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
