Methodist Churches
The Methodist Church is one of the largest Christian Churches in Britain, with a total membership of about 330 000 people. There are Methodist Churches in nearly every country in the world and global membership numbers some 70 million people. Methodists stand within the Protestant tradition of the worldwide Christian Church and are traditionally known as non-conformist. Methodism has its roots in eighteenth century Anglicanism. Its founder, John Wesley, was a priest of the Church of England, who challenged the Church of his day to reach out with the gospel to the working classes in Britain´s industrial heartlands. Methodist churches vary in their style of worship during services. The emphasis is often on Bible reading and preaching, although hymn singing is a significant aspect of Methodist services. (John Wesley´s brother, Charles, was a prolific hymn-writer.) Although alcohol is not allowed in Methodist Church buildings, most Methodists consider responsible drinking to be a matter of personal morality.
