for the Christian denomination Methodism In the study of knowledge, Methodism refers to the Epistemology epistemological approach where one asks How do we know? before What do we know? The term appears in Roderick Chisholm s The Problem of the Criterion , and in the work of his student, Ernest Sosa The Raft and the Pyramid Coherence versus Foundations in the Theory of Knowledge . Methodism is contrasted with Epistemological particularism particularism , which answers the latter question before the former. Since the question How do we know? does not presuppose that we know, it is receptive to skepticism. In this way, Sosa claims, David Hume Hume no less than Descartes was an epistemological Methodist.

The Christmas Conference was an historic founding conference of the newly independent Methodism Methodists within the United States held just after the American Revolution at Lovely Lane Chapel in Baltimore, Maryland in 1784. Prior to the revolution American Methodism consisted of itinerant preacher s commissioned by John Wesley the founder of the Methodist societies in England. Wesley had been sending preacher missionaries since the 1760s. With the outbreak of war, most of these returned to England, with the notable exception of Francis Asbury , who began to be looked upon as the leader of the groups. His activities were greatly restricted because, as an Englishman, he was suspected of not being sympathetic to the patriot cause. During the war, he ceased his circuit rider Religious circuit riding and stayed at the residence of his friend, Judge Thomas White of Delaware . Prior to the war, the Methodist itinerant preachers were appointed to form societies, but they were expected by Wesley to work within the Anglican Church, as they were not ordained. They were not allowed to administer the sacrament s. This produced some difficulty as Anglican Churches were limited to the coastal cities, and the itinerant preachers were moving westward and inland. Similarly the Anglican priests almost all left for England with the outbreak of war. Asbury had come to America in 1771. Under his leadership, conferences were formed and American preachers appointed, but this did not solve the problem of the administration of the sacraments. During the war, the societies continued to grow, albeit more slowly due to all the disruptions. Following the war, there was a move to locally ordain the preachers, but Asbury counseled patience until Wesley gave direction.
