Synopsis

Unification of Two Methodist Traditions in One Record The book collects the formal proceedings of a landmark 1918–1920 effort to unite the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, offering a window into the debates, proposals, and practical steps considered by leaders and delegates at St. Louis, Cleveland, and Louisville.

This edition presents the minutes, opening prayers, toasts, and the varied discussions that shaped early 20th‑century American Methodism. It documents how different voices argued for, or resisted, a single church structure, including governance, representation, and regional leadership. The text foregrounds the human elements of formal church process, from committee reports to parliamentary moves, without venturing into fictional or speculative material.

• Insights into the reasons and hopes behind a major church unification effort.


• Direct excerpts of debates, resolutions, and constitutional considerations.


• Snapshots of the people—bishops, ministers, and lay leaders—shaping policy.


• Context for later church history and the evolution of regional governance.

Ideal for readers of church history, religious studies, or anyone exploring how large faith organizations address unity and governance.
