Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Minutes of the Annual and General Conferences of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ: 1800-1818 The United Brethren Church may congratulate itself on the preservation, notwithstanding the absence till recently of direct plan and effort in that direction, of the minutes almost entire of all of the early conferences. The first and only notice that we have of the conferences of 1789 and 1791 is what was inserted in the historical sketch in the Discipline published in 1819. The only gap in the conference minutes prior to 1837 is the absence of the minutes of the first four sessions of Scioto Conference (from 1825 to 1828). It seems proper to speak of the conference regularly organized in the year 1800 as the "Original Conference" for the period down to 1810, when the Miami Conference was formed, and then for the period following to designate it the "Eastern Conference," which designation continues best to describe it till the division of the conference in 1830. The minutes of the conference first formed, though meager, are preserved unbroken down to and including the minutes of 1830. They are in German, and are recorded in a substantial record-book. The same book also contains in English the minutes of Virginia Conference from 1831 to 1837 inclusive. The first Miami Conference record-book contains the minutes in the German language from 1810 to 1831 inclusive. On pages facing the German text, for a number of the sessions, there is a more or less full account in English of the transactions of the conference. For the sessions of 1826 and 1827, while the English record is complete, the German record is almost wholly wanting. The first Muskingum Conference record extends over the years from 1818 to 1845 inclusive. The minutes are in German, with the exception of those for the years 1838, 1839, and 1842 to 1845. Muskingum Conference had special importance in that, while losing its territory in Pennsylvania after 1833, it became the conference through which the Church was planted in all eastern and northern Ohio, and, through the Sandusky Conference, in large measure, in Michigan also. The minutes of the first two General Conference sessions are recorded in German in the record-book of the Eastern Conference.
