Farmers Who Sowed Methodism in America (UMTV)

More at http://umc.org/videos. “Every United Methodist should visit the Strawbridge Shrine because this heritage belongs to them.” Curator Helen Kemp is among those who believe the birthplace of Methodism in America is a special landmark. The humble wood structures of the Strawbridge Shrine in Maryland were home to Irish preacher Robert Strawbridge and his wife Elizabeth who started the Methodist movement in the New World in the 1760s. It was here that the first convert was baptized and this was the place where the first Methodist class met and grew into a church. Current board member John Strawbridge hopes that people who visit Strawbridge will be reminded of the importance of lay people in the church even today. “The United Methodist Church is not some place that you come to hear an ordained preacher speak. It’s a place that you come to get your charge to go out in the world and do God’s work,” says Strawbridge. This channel is managed by United Methodist Communications in Nashville, TN.
