Articles of Religion (Methodist)
- Articles of Religion (Methodist)
The Articles of Religion are an official doctrinal statement of American Methodism. John Wesley abridged for the American Methodists the Thirty-Nine Articles of Anglicanism, removing the Calvinistic parts among others. The Articles were adopted at a conference in 1784 and are found in paragraph 103 of the "United Methodist Church Book of Discipline". They have remained relatively unchanged since 1808 (save for a few additional articles added in later years).
