Methodist Union (Dictionary of Methodism in Britain and Ireland)

Dictionary of Methodism in Britain and Ireland

The Dictionary of Methodism in Britain and Ireland publishes this entry on Methodist Union, an expanded online edition of the printed dictionary originally edited by John A. Vickers for the Wesley Historical Society and published by the Epworth Press in 2000, now produced by permission of its copyright holders, the Methodist Publishing House. The entry documents the 20 September 1932 Uniting Conference at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Methodist Church Union Act 1929 under which it proceeded, the Wesleyan Conference reaching the required majority in 1928, and the leading advocates and opponents of the union among its ministers.
