Free Methodist Church (Wikipedia)

Wikipedia

This is the Wikipedia article on the Free Methodist Church, a Wesleyan holiness denomination, an open, crowd-edited tertiary reference rather than a scholarly history or the denomination's own official record. It is appropriately cited here only for basic, checkable organizational facts, founding date, structure and doctrinal affiliation, claims that are stable and uncontroversial in the specialist literature on American Methodism. Like any Wikipedia article, its content can be edited by anyone at any time and it carries no named editorial board or peer review process of its own, so it is not the place to look for a disputed or interpretive claim about the denomination's history or theology, a scholarly history of the American holiness movement is the stronger source for anything beyond these basic facts. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
