The words you will hear from me in this week’s devotion will be short. Last week we talked about the early history of Methodism and our founder John Wesley. It is there that we learned about some of our basic beliefs. Things like the Wesleyan Quadrilateral that uses Scripture, Reason, Tradition, and Experience to work out our faith. We also talked about the 8 marks of a Methodist. While in England a Methodist was simply a movement of the Church of England. But then there was this little colony that would change that.
This week we turn to what happened to this Methodist movement when it reached America. When it comes to telling that story, nothing does it better than the Clayride video created by United Methodist Communications back in 1984. It was to celebrate the Bicentennial of our Methodist movement. It’s a “gallop” through 200 years of Methodist history.
Please enjoy viewing Clayride.
