KILHAM, ALEXANDER (1762-1798)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 792 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KILHAM, ALEXANDER (1762-1798) , English Methodist, was born at Epworth, Lincolnshire, on the loth of July 1762. He was admitted by John Wesley in 1785 into the
regular
  itinerant ministry. He became the leader and spokesman of the democratic party in the Connexion which claimed for the laity the free election of class-leaders and stewards, and equal representation with ministers at Conference. They also contended that the ministry should possess no official authority or
pastoral
 
prerogative
 , but should merely carry into effect the decisions of majorities in the different meetings. Kilham further advocated the complete separation of the Methodists from the-
Anglican
 
Church
 . In the violent controversy that ensued he
wrote many pamphlets, often
anonymous
 , and frequently not in the best of
taste
 . For this he was arraigned before the Conference of 1796 and expelled, and he then founded the Methodist New Connexion (1798, merged since 1906 in the United Methodist
Church
 ). He died in 1798, and the success of the 'church he founded is a
tribute
  to his personality and to the principles for which he strove. Kilham's wife (Hannah Spurr, 17741832), whom he married only a few months before his death, became a Quaker, and worked as a missionary in the Gambia and at Sierra Leone; she reduced to writing several West
African
  vernaculars.
