	The Primitive Methodist Church - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		THE PRIMITIVE METHODIST CHURCH, a community of nonconformists, which owes its origin to the fact that Methodism as founded by the Wesleys tended, after the first generation, to depart from the enthusiasm that had marked its inception and to settle down to the task of self-organization.
		One of the men to whom Primitive Methodism owes its existence was Hugh Bourne (1772-1852), a millwright of Stoke-upon-Trent.
		His open-air preaching was accompanied by prayer and singing, a departure from Wesley's practice and the forerunner of the well-known "Camp Meeting." A chapel was built at Harrisehead, and a second revival occurred in September 1804, largely the result of a meeting held at Congleton by some enthusiasts from Southport.

		Methodism survived as the fittest of the various brands of evangelical piety in the first half of the eighteenth century; its future growth depended largely on how well it would adapt to dramatic environmental changes.
		Methodism in Cornwall remained a sturdy plant throughout the nineteenth century, but the culture of the Cornish tin mines was not easily exportable, except exotically to the mines of the New World.
		The symbiosis between Methodism and its host environments was a powerful factor in the spread of Methodism throughout the world in the nineteenth century, but it did not operate as naked determinism, for Methodism helped build the environments from which it took its nourishment.

	Working-class evangelicalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Primitive Methodist campmeetings were from the start organized in direct competition to wakes, feasts, and so on; hymns replaced bawdy folksongs (often using their tunes), and tea meetings replaced beer drinking.
		Primitive Methodists, Bourne in particular, were aware of the need to keep each item short; timekeepers were appointed at campmeetings, and at the Conference of 1831, it was even agreed that itinerants who preached for too long should have their allowances docked[98].
		Primitive Methodism had developed in response to the demand for active evangelism through camp meetings; when it was stopped for some years under the Tunstall non-mission law of 1814, the whole movement suffered (except in places where the rule was ignored).

	Quarterly Review Classics - Methodism: Its Method and Mission (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Methodism was expected to prove itself unsound in doctrine because it did not formally, at first, announce a creed; erratic in movement, because it would not be governed by traditions from the dead past; and temporary, because it was not robed in apostolic vestments.
		Methodism is “Christianity in earnest” for the defense and propagation of all forms of fundamental truth, dogmatical as well as experimental.
		Methodism accepted presbyterial ordination, and thus became historical and flexible, while it received Episcopacy without its fictions, and is hence commanded, in a unified spiritual efficiency, unparalleled in the history of the world.

	Methodist Church
		Cornish Methodism, yes we can say this, for there is an expression of Christian belief here in Cornwall that is both distinctive and ancient, has deep roots far older than common ideas of Nonconformity as practiced in the eighteenth century.
		Methodism found fertile ground here when, as one early admirer has it, ‘it came down from heaven as it was wanted, piece by piece’.

	The History and Development of Bible Methodism
		The planting of Methodism in America took place through a few Methodist laymen whose hearts were ablaze with a zeal for God and a passion for souls.
		However, Bible Methodism evidences a good balance between the twin truths of external separation from the world and the absolute necessity for those standards to come from a heart motivated to please God, rather than from conformity to a standard for the sake of outward acceptability.
		Bible Methodism lost the personal accountability that was so characteristic of Wesleyanism, and consequently lost the dynamic which had constantly propelled Wesleyans on in their pursuit of holy living.

	MILLENARIANISM AND POPULAR METHODISM IN EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY ENGLAND AND CANADA
		In striving to recapture the early spirit of Methodism in the face of a definite establishmentarian drift in the nineteenth century, some Methodists found compelling the millenarian analysis of a world in apostasy and the expectation of the imminent eschaton.
		They broke off from the Primitive Methodists not only for the usual reasons of ecclesiological localism, but also on the grounds that the original spirituality had been lost and that a proper understanding of eschatology was lacking.
		Methodism was firmly entrenched in the region by the 1 830s.

	Methodism in Kingswinford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Primitive Methodism grew around men who had been expelled from the Wesleyan Church because of their association with 'Revivalism' based on a desire to return to the methods of Wesley himself.
		Although this may seem rather an underhand way of acquiring land, it was a method used quite widely by some of the early Methodists to avoid the refusals of landowners, who were usually respected Anglicans and were, therefore, reluctant to part with land for the building of chapels by breakaway sects.
		The rest of the story of Methodism in Kingswinford is therefore, the story of the burying of all traces of past division.

		In 1823 at a meeting of the Primitive Methodists Society in Bridlington the subject of Filey was discussed.

		Primitive Methodism became so popular in Filey that in 1865 it was decided that a new building was needed large enough to cope with the numbers of people now involved.
