EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image commemorates the Centenary of American Methodism, marking the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. The photograph, taken in 1866, captures a grand procession of Methodist clergy and laity as they make their way through the streets of a bustling American town. The occasion was a celebration of the rich history and enduring impact of Methodism in the United States. The Methodist Episcopal Church traces its roots back to the early 18th century and the evangelical movement led by John Wesley in England. Methodism spread to the American colonies in the late 1700s and quickly gained a large following, particularly in rural areas and among the working class. By the time of this Centenary celebration, the church had grown to encompass over one million members and had become a major force in American religious life. The procession in the photograph is led by a bishop, dressed in full regalia, and includes a colorful array of clergy and laypeople, all dressed in their Sunday best. The scene is filled with a sense of joy and celebration, as the community comes together to honor the past and look forward to the future. The banner carried by the clergy reads "Centenary of American Methodism," while the laity carry various banners and flags representing their local churches and communities. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of American Methodism during a time of great growth and transformation. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and community in shaping the lives of individuals and communities throughout history.
