Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Primitive Methodism was a major movement in English Methodism from about 1810 until the Methodist Union in 1932. The Primitive Methodist Church still exists in the United States. Primitive Methodism was born in Staffordshire in 1811, when two groups joined-the 'Camp Meeting Methodists' and the 'Clowesites', led by Hugh Bourne and William Clowes respectively. The movement was spawned from the personal followings of these men. Bourne and Clowes were charismatic evangelists with a rebellious streak. Both had reputations for zeal and were sympathetic to ideas the Wesleyan Connexion condemned. Their belief most unacceptable to the Wesleyan Connexion was support for "Camp Meetings." These were day-long, open air meetings involving public praying, preaching and Love Feasts. Clowes was a first generation Methodist convert-at the age of 25 he renounced his desire to be the finest dancer in England.
