description: Dudley Levistone Cooney Church History Ecumenics This is the story of one of the smaller Christian churches in Ireland from its introduction in the middle of the 18th century to the present time. Never numbering much more than 60,000 people, it has made a contribution to the life of the country greater than its numbers would have suggested. After a brief account of the life of John Wesley and the origin of the religious societies that he formed in England, the author introduces the beliefs of the Methodist church, and then turns to its development in Ireland. A welcome and worthy addition to the record and evaluation of the Connexion in this island... The easy narrative style does indeed make for an enjoyable read, consciously free of Methodist jargon, while losing nothing in scholarship.""--The Methodist Newsletter.
