Research

ARTICLES: I am currently writing three articles dealing with the last major schism in British Wesleyan Methodism in 1849-54. ?The first makes the argument that the division in the British connexion was part of a global crisis in Wesleyan Methodism that affected the churches in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand; the second?concentrates on an attempted murder that took place in the industrial village of Yeadon, just south of Leeds in Yorkshire, and its legal, religious, and social contexts; and the third discusses?a ministerial sex scandal and its connections with the politics of the New Poor Law (1834).?

BOOK: These articles are laying the groundwork for a large-scale?study?of a major?crisis in British and transoceanic Wesleyanism, as well as other Anglo-American Protestant churches, during the mid-nineteenth century.?
