The evangelical or Methodist revival had a major impact on Welsh religion, society and culture, leading to the unprecedented growth of Nonconformity by the nineteenth century, which established a very clear difference between Wales and England in religious terms. Since the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist movement did not split from the Church to form a separate denomination until 1811, it existed in its early years solely as a collection of local society meetings. By focusing on the early societies in south-west Wales, this study examines the grass roots of the eighteenth-century Methodist movement, identifying the features that led to its subsequent remarkable success. At the heart of the book lie the experiences of the men and women who were members of the societies, along with their social and economic background and the factors that attracted them to the Methodist cause.
There is a wealth of Methodist history to be found in Birmingham and the Black Country . . . The West Midlands Branch of the Wesley Historical Society was inaugurated on Saturday, 27th March 1965, in a meeting held at Handsworth Methodist Ministerial Training College, Birmingham. One aim of the branch is to bring together people who are interested in Methodist history in the region. Another is to encourage individuals to research local Methodist history and to publish articles, or give lectures. This book celebrates the past fifty years of local Methodist history, bringing together memories and research from the local Methodist circuits.
