Why was the article moved Methodist is a Christian denomination of churches  While I understand in every day speech people say Im a Methodist or I go to a Methodist church or people refer to the Methodists but to use the word Methodist without the s just doesnt sound right I mean if for what ever reason Methodism is so out of the question as a name for this article at least use Methodists That way we could write an introduction that flows and is not awkward such as Methodists are Christians  or whatever But Methodist used in every day speech is usually used as a descriptor not as a stand alone name for the movement
