Authority and Order: John Wesley and his Preachers

By Adrian Burdon

Authority and Order explores the origins of the Methodist order and identifies the nature of authority exercised by John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church. Adrian Burdon charts the journey of John Wesley and his people towards the ordination of preachers, which became such a major issue among the first Methodist Societies. Particular attention is paid to the covenant for unity between English Methodists and the Church of England.
