Methodist
Transcript: Methodist is a group of historically related denominations of protestant christianity which derive their inspiration from the life and teachings of John Wesley. the methodist church began with a group of men(john wesley and his brother) as a movement within the church of england found in 18th century. The church began with the wesley brothers founding the "holy club". this group of men would meet weekly and would speak about their holy life. they were called methodist's by their students due to the way they used to specific 'rule' and 'methods' to go about their religious affairs. john wesley has credit for the foundation of the evangelical movement known as Methodism. the people who follow this religion have 3 major beliefs: 1. people are all, by nature, 'dead in sin' and consequently, 'children of wrath'. 2. that they are justified by faith. 3. that faith produces inward and outward holiness. On the left is a picture of a Methodist church . on the right side there is the symbol that represents "the united methodist church" in methodism, they do have a authority and it is to teach and to preach about what they believe in. methodists have ministers rather than priests because they believe that by definition, priests are intermediary between people and the devine. Once methodists were seperated from the "anglican church" they have followed the same pattern and continue to do so. Origionally methodists were located in Great Britain. now they are located all over the world, including europe( Ireland, france, hungary, italy and Russia), latin america( mexico, caribbean, ant igua, st.bart's, jamacia and barbados), afirca( nigerea, ghana and south africa), Asia( china, india, malaysia and singapore, philippenes and south korea), north america( canada and united states) and oceania( australia, fiji, newzealand, samoan islans and tonga). mthodism is decreasing in great britain and north america, it coninues to grow in other places and it grows at a rapid pace the untited methodist church is the largest denomination within the methodist movement, which has about 80 million believers across the world. as of 2014, the worldwide membership of methodists was about 20 million. about 7.2 million of that population was in the united states and about 4.4 million of that population was in africa, asia and europe.
