METHODIST NEW CONNEXION

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 297 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
METHODIST NEW CONNEXION , a
Protestant
  Nonconformist
Church
 , formed in 1797 by secession from the Wesleyan Methodists, and merged in 1907 into the United Methodist
Church
  (q.v.). The secession was led by Alexander Kilham (q.v.), and resulted from a dispute regarding the position and rights of the laity, Kilham and his party desiring more
power
  for the members of the Church and less for the ministers. In its conferences ministers and laymen were of equal number, the laymen being chosen by the circuits and in some cases by ". guardian representatives " elected for
life
  by conference. Otherwise the doctrines and order of the Connexion were the same as those of the Wesleyans. At the time of the
union
  with the Bible Christians and the' United Methodist Free Church in 1907 the Methodist New Connexion had some 250 ministers and 45,000 members.
