A Brief History of Lay Speaking ... This page contains a brief history of Lay Speaking and an article on the 50th anniversary of Lay Speaking. The originals can be found at GBOD A Brief History of the Office of Lay Speaker In The United Methodist Church (And Its Predecessor Bodies) by James W. (Jim) Lane and the Rev. Roger D. Carlson, O.S.L., Ph.D. (revised Nov. 1998) Exhorter was the original term for what we now know as lay speaker in The United Methodist Church. This office has existed in the church almost from the beginning of Methodism. In the British Conference of 1746 two years after John Wesley held his first conference the following direction was given: “Let none exhort in any of our Societies without a note of recommendation from the Assistant. Let every Exhorter see that this be renewed yearly. Let every Assistant rigorously insist upon this.” Then, in 1770, we find this record: “That each Assistant may know the Exhorters in his circuit, let each give his successor a list of them.” The earliest references to the precursor of the office of Certified ay Speaker, namely the “exhorter,” occurred only two years after the first conference of Methodism which was held in 1744. In Cornwall, there had been active hostilities against the Methodists and lay preachers which resulted in a number of incidents in which their meetings seemed to be potentially leaderless. The following incident reveals that, in the earliest years of the Methodist movement in England, it was the “exhorter” (who was later to become the Certified Lay Speaker within The United Methodist Church in the U.S.), who held the Methodist Societies together.

The group, which included both General Secretary Bob Edgar and President Elenie Huszagh of the National Council of Churches USA, warned that the human cost might far outweigh the gain of such an attack, and that they do not believe it has been proven that "all reasonable alternative means of containing Iraq’s development of weapons of mass destruction have been exhausted."

Methodism General Information Methodism is the name given to a group of Protestant churches that arose from the 18th century Wesleyan movement in England led by John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield. Although centered in the British Isles and North America, Methodism has spread worldwide. The total world community is estimated at more than 38 million; the largest single group is the United Methodist Church in the United States, with about 10 million members. The origins of Methodism are inseparable from the careers of the Wesley brothers. In 1738, influenced by the Moravians, they organized small "societies" within the Church of England for religious sharing, Bible study, prayer, and preaching. Doctrine was based on an Arminian interpretation of the Thirty Nine Articles but emphasized personal experience of conversion, assurance, and sanctification. The Wesleys and their associate Whitefield traveled widely, preaching to large and enthusiastic crowds of working people. The movement spread through most of England. A striking growth took place in Ireland, and to lesser extent in Wales and Scotland. To preserve personal fellowship, "bands" and "class meetings" were formed, and the whole was brought together (1744) by John Wesley in the British Conference.

The earliest societies were formed in about 1766 in New York City, in Philadelphia, and near Pipe Creek, Maryland. In 1769 John Wesley sent his first missionaries to America. Francis Asbury, commissioned in 1771, was the missionary most instrumental in establishing the American Methodist church. The first annual conference was held in Philadelphia in 1773. At the Christmas Conference held in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1784, the Methodist Episcopal Church was formally organized as a body separate from the English Methodist structure. Asbury and Thomas Coke were given the title bishop and became heads of the new church. Wesley sent Twenty-five Articles of Religion, adapted from the

A Brief History of the Politics of the Methodist Church in Canada Most of the early Methodist preachers in Canada were American, many of them loyalists. But in 1814 or so the British Wesleyans sent some preachers to Britain to a post in Nova Scotia, at the request of the people in that area, but to the distress of the American Methodists. Over the next while more and more British Weslyans came. By 1817 there were some 166 followers of the Weslyans and about 3,301 followers of the American Methodists. By 1820 those numbers had grown to 744 British Weslyans and 5,991 Methodist Episcopals. (Oliver, 113) In 1820 American Methodists in the Upper Canada were petitioning the American Conference to get the British Weslyans to stop competing with them. A number of them also wanted to have a separate annual conference for Canada. The former of those issues was dealt with first and an agreement was made that the American Methodists gave up Lower Canada to the British Weslyans and the British Weslyans gave up Upper Canada (with the exception of Kingston, which was a military location, and therefore had a lot of British soldiers). (Oliver 113) The first Canadian Conference met on August 25, 1824 and a Missionary Society was formed as an Auxiliary to the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. By May 1827 the American General Conference decided to withdraw jurisdiction from the Canadian Methodists and in 1828 the first independent Canadian Methodist Conference met. (Oliver, 114)

The General Council of Union Churches Stream Introduction The United Church of Canada is the largest Protestant denomination in Canada. We minister to over 3 million people in 3677 congregations across the country. Ours is a rich history closely entwined with the development of Canada itself. The United Church was inaugurated on June 10, 1925 in Toronto, Ontario, when the Methodist Church, Canada, the Congregational Union of Canada, and 70 per cent of the Presbyterian Church in Canada entered into an organic union. Joining as well was the small General Council of Union Churches, centred largely in Western Canada. It was the first union of churches in the world to cross historical denominational lines and hence received international acclaim. Impetus for the union arose out of the concerns for serving the vast Canadian northwest and in the desire for better overseas mission. Each of the uniting churches, however, had a long history prior to 1925. The Presbyterian Stream French Huguenots, escaping persecution following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, brought the Reformed Faith to Canada. But even in the New World their growth and development were restricted. After the ceding of Nova Scotia to England in 1713, subsequent immigration of Presbyterians from Scotland and Ireland completely overwhelmed the small French contingent. The first ministers from Scotland were Daniel Cook, David Smith, and Hugh Graham who organized the Presbytery of Truro in 1786. In 1795 this presbytery was joined by a second, the Presbytery of Pictou, which represented another faction of Scottish Presbyterianism. In 1817 these two groups, joined by a few ministers from the Established Church of Scotland were able to come together and form the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia.

His ministry produced other Methodist Societies Philip Embury preached and started a Methodist Society in 1765. He was a lay leader from Ireland who had settled in New York.

This result could bring full unity with the Church of England and even increased unity between Methodists and Anglicans worldwide. Methodism broke the line of apostolic succession, which emphasises that Christian bishops are the spiritual successors of the Apostles, when John Wesley began to ordain ministers for service in the United States.
