Methodism

by Rupert E Davies

Overview

The proceedings of the Methodist Church Congress held in The Central Hall, Bristol -- October 7-10, 1929. This volume is offered to a wider public in belief that the effort of the Congress to bring out the value and significance for the life of today of the Methodist Witness to ""a free, full, present, salvation,"" deserves a permanent record. For the individual reader, we venture to suggest that the book should be read with the endeavor to relate the addresses with the accompanying devotional exercises as they are presented for the proceedings of each session. It is for this purpose that the devotional services have been combined with the respective addresses. For the same reason it is also hoped that the book may provide a welcome and inspiring textbook and devotional guide for the Guilds and Study Circles.
