Excerpt from The Essentials of Methodism
If we look at Methodism historically, we soon discern that all its doctrines and cere monials and rules for practice have to do with their effect on inner Spiritual experience. The Methodist movement arose as a protest against formalism in theology and ritual and practice. The early Methodists made no war on the Church Of England except in the attack upon its lack of spirituality. It has been said that Methodism began when John Wesley found his heart strangely warmed, and that the center of the power of Methodism has always been its emphasis upon inner experience. It is as if our forefathers found ready-to - hand doc trinal' statements and ritualistic Observances and rules Of conduct which they proceeded to fill with a new life.

Excerpt from The Essentials of Methodism
In discussing the essentials of Methodism it is well for us to remind ourselves at the outset that Methodism shares with other churches the common heritage of catholic Christianity. As an offshoot of the established Church of England Methodism has always held fast to the cardinal doctrines which have come down from the beginning of Christianity. The doctrines of God, of Christ, of the meaning and dignity of human life which prevail in Methodism are essentially the same as those of all the churches which we call evangelical. If, for example, it were proposed to try a Methodist minister for heretical views as to the Person of Christ, there would be no distinctively Methodist phrasing of the doctrine to be accepted as standard. No doubt certain Methodist authors would be quoted, but the quotations would be found to embody the doctrine which the church has held from the beginning.
