A detailed look at a pivotal moment in church history and the unification effort among Methodist bodies. This book presents the proceedings of the Joint Commission on Unification, capturing the January 23–February 6, 1918 sessions in Savannah, Georgia, and the conversations that shaped a united future for the churches involved.
Read the recorded remarks, formal statements, and procedural discussions that guided early talks about merging the Methodist Episcopal Church, North and South. The text offers a window into the questions scholars and leaders faced, from governance structures to property rights, and the role of advisory bodies in a growing denomination.
The volume documents the atmosphere, tone, and leadership styles of the commissioners as they navigated diplomacy, theology, and practical steps toward unity. It preserves the character of debates that balanced tradition with the push for greater fellowship across congregations and regions.
Ideal for readers of church history, researchers studying denominational shifts, and anyone interested in how large, diverse religious bodies approach unity.
