Book Description

Primitive Methodism was a major movement in English Methodism from about 1810 until the Methodist Union in 1932.[1] The denomination emerged from a revival at Mow Cop in Staffordshire. 'Primitive' meant "simple" or "relating to an original stage"; the Primitive Methodists saw themselves as practising a purer form of Christianity, closer to the earliest Methodists. This bi-annual publication aimed at the younger generation contains articles; cautionary tales; & inspirational stories; together with numerous illustrations.
