Excerpt from Where Are the Old Paths?: A Bible and Denominational Study for Methodists
The day is not so very distant when it was customary for Methodist ministers, when gathered together, to sing with that rare unction which made their singing fa mous, the following stanza of one Of Charles Wesley's hymns.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a revealing study of Methodism's history, thoughtfully examines the trajectory of the church across time. The author argues that the denomination, once characterized by spiritual fervor and a commitment to community, has undergone a profound shift towards a more business-like approach to ministry. The author traces this shift, identifying the gradual replacement of class leaders and exhorters with "all-round" ministers who are expected to manage the financial and administrative aspects of their congregations. The book contends that while these changes have brought a degree of efficiency, they have come at a cost, diminishing the emphasis on personal piety and the spiritual guidance that were once the cornerstones of Methodism. The insightful analysis in this book will undoubtedly resonate with readers interested in the evolution and challenges facing religious institutions today.
