F. Enoch Bell, minister of Holsey Memorial Church. In England, there were those who rebelled against the Church of England, the state church. At the University of Oxford, in the year 1729, three -young men, Charles Wesley, George Whitfield and John Wesley, decided to work together for their own improvement, both spiritual and intellectual. The church at this stage was known as societies, this name lasted for 50 years. In 1739, John Wesley organized the first Methodist Society with 10 members. Methodism spread in England with leaps and bounds. Philip Embry had been sent to America by Wesley and organized the first Methodist Society in New York City in 1766. In 1784 the name was changed to Methodist Episcopal Church. The General Conference, the body in which all laws to govern the church are enacted, the first general conference was November 1, 1792. It takes two thirds of all delegates present and voting before any law becomes official. Negro and Methodism Dr. Thomas Coke was sent to America, assisted by Richard Whitcoat and Thomas Vasey. From 1784 to 1844, Methodism had a phenominal growth. Circuit riders and evangelists spread the gospel into the states and colonies. The greatest growth was south of Pennsylvania. This brought Methodism in contact with Negro slaves. The preaching of the gospel and Christanity was not denied them The Methodist Church from its beginning opposed slavery and took Negro converts, though slaves, into the church. They were seated in the balcony or special pews. The Great Secession Slavery was disturbing the national government and also the harmony of the church. Bishop Andrews had become the owner of a slave. The abolitionist movement forced the church to face the rightness or wrongness of slavery The General Conference met in May, 1844, and a resolution was presented asking Bishop Andrews to resign. This was done by the northern section of the Methodist Episcopal Church, stating that they did not want to be led by a slave master At the General Conference, in Session, May 1, 1844, through June 11, the @urch and slavery was the order of the day. After wrangling with the problem for several days, the church divided; June 8 the south was permitted to vote either to remain or separate. The vote was 136 to separate and 15 to stay. On this date the church separated and became the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South. é; North and South The Negroes in the north had long before become dissatisfied with treatment by their white brothers. In 179% a group separated from the John Street Methodist Church | and organized a separate church and called themselves the African Methodist . Episcopal Church.. About the same time another group in Philadelphia became dissatisfied about separate communion, led by Richard Allen, separated and used a blacksmith shop for a church. This group also took the name African Methodist Episcopal Church. The two groups were not able to prove the right to the title so the New York Church added the letter (Z) and is today The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Both are coexistant with large memberships. The Negro in the south was still a member of whatever church his master was a member. He.could not select any other denomination. He had no choice. At the close of the civil war, there were 206,000 Negroes in the Methodist Church South. Many of the masters did not mind sitting in the same church with slaves, but not as free men; freedom made a different relationship and was causing friction afid unrest in the churches general conference met Atlanta in 1866. The Negro problem was the order of the day. What to do with them or for them was the question?

This method is called Sprinkling. We do not believe that the amount of water is the im- portant factor. Water, being the symbol of God's cleansing power, only suggests: that which God Himself does inside the human heart. The ap plicant for Baptism surrenders himself complete! to God; the minister speaks the words of consecra tion; God performs the miracle of the renewed life The Methodist Discipline says: “Let every adult person, and the parents of every child to be bap tized, have the choice of sprinkling, pouring, ot immersion, Infant Baptism It is understood that a child, baptized im in fancy, will assume the vows for himself, of his own. free will and accord, at that later time when he joins the Church. The nite of Infant Baptism 1s the beautiful ritual of dedicating a life to God. It is the entering of the father and the mother into a three-way covenant with God: They promise so to live before the child, soto encompass hin nm Christian atmosphere, and so to surround him with wholesome moral and spiritual disciplines that God may begin His work in the heart of the child in the formative vears and thus assure Chris tian direction and spiritual fulfillment & The Holy Communion We do not by brew that th blood of Chast, but that suffermng, at strangely unite bread, as the svinbol of ¢ spintual suggestivent souls, Phe commemoriti our Lord as) on f spiritual self examination tion, for a new cleansing and powerful expericnc Phis ‘Sacrament. offers to those Who come seckin Jesus said Tam the vine, You are the branches He who abides in me, And [| in him, “ He it is that bears muc For apart from me You can do nothing. (John 15:5 Methodists believe that it is possible for a per- son to have entered into the Christian experience and then, through indifference or overt acts, to rebel against God, to close the door to God, to lose that sense of personal relationship with Him. God never turns His back on us, but it is possible for us to turn our back on Him. We can, however, through honest repentance on our part and gra- cious forgiveness on God’s part, have our Chnis- tian experience restored, even after we have fallen away. Since conversion is only spiritual birth, then spiritual growth is necessary to bring the Christian to spiritual maturity. This growth should continue through an entire lifetime, since the Christian experience is an inexhaustible spiritual develop- ment of personality. For this reason, Methodism insists on continuous Christian education that, growing in the knowledge of Christian principles, we may continue to develop in holy habits and Christian practices. Along with Christian nur- ture and spiritual attentiveness, we believe that the Spirit of God will continue to touch our lives again and again, increasing the certainty and vivid- ness of our Christian experience. We recognize that all Christians will have intermittent experi- ences of doubt and confusion, which may become less and less disturbing as we grow in the conscious- ness of God. ‘Thus, each successive year, the genu- ine Christian becomes more sensitive to the way of Christ and more certain of the love of God. “The Church is of God, and will be preserved to the end of time” for worship, for service, for teaching, for Christian fellowship, and for the conversion of the whole world! We believe that the regular worship of individuals and family groups is essential to the development of Christian character, to the building of Christian homes, to the releasing in society of the spiritual changes necessary for the redemption of. humanity. The real Church isa ‘working, worshiping fellowship of true Christians. We believe that Sunday is a day of particular spiritual significance; that its first use is the spiritual development of the individual; that, unless it is held sacred, humanity will be robbed of’ its greatest single source of spiritual progress! «The Church is a missionary movement. It is a group of people with a mission from God—to reach every creature in the world for the Kingdom of Christ. That mission is accomplished by teach- ing, by preaching, by healing, by lifting backward peoples; it is accomplished by permeating the world with the knowledge of God that we have in Christ, and surrounding humanity with the love of ° God that we have discovered through Christ. Those who cannot go to the “ends of the earth” may enter into this Christian mission by the giving of their means to send others. The final day of peace will come as the result of this Chnistian . World Mission. God speaks, and we must go! The Universal Church The term, “holy catholic Church,’ used in the Apostles’ Creed, by defimition simply means the “Holy Umversal Church” (not the Roman Catholic, the Greck Catholic, or any other Special Church). We believe in the whole family of God, in the total Body of Christ, in the fellowship of all true Christian people everywhere. Individual R ti Che expression, “the resurrection of the body,” means to us the resurrection of the individual spiritual body. (not the old body of flesh and blood). As Paul says: “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.” This means that thc resurrection is not a hazy, half-conscious cxistenc but a vivid, individual experience in which we know and are known The Life Everlasting God has built into us a persistent belicf that our lives have meaning beyond our brief experi- ence of consciousness here. We believe that Christ had insight into the very nature of reality when he said: “In my Father's house are many mansions.” We can’t describe Heaven, but the sense of its reality grows deeper through the years. As between “the endless life” and “the endless death’. (there is no other alternative) through Christ, we bank our faith upon the endless life! But our hearts bear witness to the statements of Chnist, that our moral and spiritual qualities of life determine our future—“Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord,” or, “Cast him into: outer darkness.” Alcoholic Beverages The Methodist Church, ever (the General Rules speak of ing_-or .sclling — spirituou them”) has been clear in its po alcohol i ! iY VCFAR¢ Podayv we Ibstinence on the part of the hold Sd hoped for ice i prohil part: of sacictvy.

We believe it is God’s purpose that we should follow the principles of Christ, and that the Holy Spirit will enable us to do so. We believe that the wav of Christ is the way for the individual, and the way for society; that the individual and society should constantly check attitudes and prac- tices by the teachings and spirit of Jesus; and that, when the way of Christ is made clear, we must be willing to live by it—and to die by it—being afraid of nothing except that we might miss His Way! As Methodists, we commit our lives to Christ— believing that God, through Christ, forgives our” sins; empowers us for living; gives us a mission to fulfill: and receives us. at last, into The Everlasting Life!

Tuttle Methodism has always tested -prejudices and injustices by. the mind of Christ. Our Christian faith teaches that all men are God’s children, and brothers one of another. It is clear that Christ died for all men: that the Kingdom of Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven do not exclude any person because of color or class. Christ taught us to lov our neighbor: He drew no racial bes; He granted no exemptions. For these w&sons, Methodism stands for the re-examingjfon of attitudes and practices in relationshipAo people of other races, ind the bringing ofAfiese attitudes and practices into line with the principles-of Christ. When men do this, racial problems will be solved Phe Methodist Discipline declares that “the methods of Jesus and the methods of. war move in different directions.”” We beheve that war pro duces the emotions and the consequences that are anti-Christian; that war docs not solve, but increases the real problems confronting humamity We believe that it is the business of the Church and the individual Christian) to create a spiritual community in which men so understand each other and so deal with each other in justice and in fairness “that future wars shall be made impos sible!” [t is our faith that this can be accomplished through the power and in the spirit of Jesus Christ. ‘Vo this ultimate goal Methodism dedicates her strength! 14 Che Methodist churches use this Its present form, A.p.

We belie that the Holy Spint is “God present with v- mdance, for comfort, and for strength.” > MORAL RESPONSIBILITY We believe in wholesome recreation, that which re-creates both body and spirit for more complet living and for greater service. We hold as a sin those leisure pursuits which injure personality, which poison human relationships, which lessen one’s awareness of God; we hold as a virtue those things which enrich human personality, which in crease the spint of good will, which bring true joy, and make one more grateful to God. We are irrevocably opposed to such destructive pursuits as gambling, indecent literature, sugges- tive entertainment, and the like. (We must not only avoid these ourselves, but strive to save others from their demoralizing influences.) We consider as unchristian the continued waste of time which ought to be employed in constructive efforts to help others. A Methodist Christian will carefull) check his recreational pursuits by Christ’s interpre- tation of the abundant life. 12 INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIP TO GOD Sin We believe that sin is that which dest: sonality, endangers the soul, and wrecl rclations. We believe that sin is either 0 secret rebellion against the will of God and 11 purposes for humanity. We believe that have tendencies toward sin; and that only the { giveness of God can free us from past sin only the power of God can deliver us from t) f future sins. Conversion Methodism has always believed in conve: I'his 1s ‘the change which takes place in a |i life, when that life is no longer centered prin. inits animal instincts but finds a new centc: 11 rclationship to God. This spiritual birth may gradually (for a child reared in a true Christian home), or (for one who has drifted far from God it may come as a sudden revolution in person)! but, in any case, itis the individual making |: wn persdnal discovery of God in Christ, an commitment of himself to God through Chris! In this decision for God and resulting expericn: of God the direction of life is altered. Conversion arses from the forgiveness of our sins by God; 11 guins_ats impetus through the enabling power of the Holy Spirit for future Christian living. Thus, ifter repentance, when one honestly commits his life to Christ through faith, “he becomes a new person altogether.” OTHER MEANS OF DEVELOPMENT We believe that praver is a powerful and mys terious opportunity of viclding ourselves to. the Spirit of God, of coming into the presence of God, ind of working within the realm of His spiritual processes. We believe that prayer brings about sit uations of increased good (health, moral and spit itual improvement, ctc.) within our own lives, within the lives of others (a wonderful means of reaching the hearts of our children for good), and within the consciousness of humanity. We believe in regular times of prayer for the individual, for the family, and for Christian con gregations in public worship.
