Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the feud between the author and Rev. John Maclean, an influential Methodist Minister, that led to bitter exchanges of pulpit attacks as well as publications. The author argues that the principles and form of government within Maclean's Wesleyan Methodist Connexion, as well as others of the time, are increasingly despotic. The book outlines several examples of this despotism and self-serving hypocrisy to demonstrate their damaging effect on Methodism. The author also outlines a solution to these problems, calling for more lay influence in the running of the church to prevent power being concentrated in the hands of the few. This book provides insights into the power struggles that were ongoing in the Methodist church at the time and the broader battle over religious freedom in England and is an important read for anyone interested in church history.
