Methodism: Methodist Connexion
built 208 days ago
From the beginning, the basis of Methodism has been the Society, a gathering together of believers for fellowship and instruction. Societies were grouped into circuits, and circuits into districts, the various districts forming the Connexion.

The information for the basic histories of Methodism in Mississippi has come from the annual Journal of the Mississippi Conference and its antecedents and from correspondence and diaries of prominent Methodist ministers. Most of these are indexed.

[I]t may be more helpful to look at Methodism from the perspective of a spectrum of religious attitudes and ideas rather than one particular set of beliefs and behaviors. Toward one end of the spectrum would be found those individuals, whatever their denominational affiliation, who were interested above all else in enjoying a vital, gifted Christianity and who tended to espouse a millenarian eschatology. Such a model is valuable precisely because it points to the source of a disproportionate number of millenarian Methodists.
