Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Methodism and Slavery: With Other Matters in Controversy Between the North and the South; Being a Review of the Manifesto of the Majority, in Reply to the Protest of the Minority, of the Late General Conference of the Methodist E. Church, in the Case of Bishop Andrew
The Memorial of the minority, praying the repeal of this law, as advised by the Bishops, together with their representations, led to a discussion in the General Confer ence of 1820, which resulted in the repeal prayed for. In the final con?ict between the majority and minority of the Tennessee Conference, on this subject, the venerable Phil ip Bruce took an active part, and fully and most unequivocally sustained the views of the Bishops and the minority, and addressing the Conference, by request, as a living witness in the principal transactions alluded to, he was even more minute and exact than Bishop mckendree, in showing that the whole legislation of the Church had been in the spirit and form of compromise, and that if this compromise was departed from, Methodism must die in the South. The same view of the subject was avowed and ad vocated by the never-to-be-forgotten Valentine Cooke, who was present, and called up on for his Opinions and testimony.
