For early American Methodists, quarterly meetings were great
festivals at the heart of Methodism's liturgical life. The meetings
lasted several days and could attract thousands. In this volume,
Lester Ruth offers a revisionist description of worship at the
quarterly meetings in early American Methodism (ca. 1772-1825). The
author describes the quarterly meeting as the setting in which
early Methodism most "dramatized" itself for public view as graced
fellowship. He explores each of the liturgical dynamics of this
experience, including the distinction between public and private
worship, the loud exuberance of American Methodists, the vivid
proclamation of God's Word, the role of the sacraments and of
Wesley's liturgical innovations, the power of fellowship as
eschatological manifestation, and the interaction between the
personal experience of grace and ecclesial inclusion.
