The Christmas Conference


Engraving of the ordination of Francis Asbury as bishop
In 1784, John Wesley dispatched Dr. Thomas Coke from England to oversee the founding of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America. Coke met Francis Asbury at Barratt's Chapel [in Delaware] in November. Plans were quickly made to gather all Methodist preachers together for the Christmas Conference at Lovely Lane Chapel in Baltimore.

 Watch this video on this important moment in our movement's story.
