In 1788, Cork candle-maker Cadwallader Acteson was driven to repent of his sins by a host of otherworldly visitants. The story was recorded and circulated in manuscript, almost certainly by the Methodist writer Hester Ann Rogers. This article is a transcription of the copy, ascribed to Elizabeth Ritchie, that resides at the Methodist Archives and Research Centre, John Rylands Research Institute and Library, Manchester. Cadwallader’s idiosyncratic story offers a window into gender roles and conceptions of agency in the late eighteenth century, and sheds light on how Methodist notions of the conversion experience might fuse with the beliefs of local communities.

This article examines the nature of systematic or dogmatic theology in relation to the Wesleyan tradition. A brief review of contemporary works examining the theology of John Wesley is followed by a survey of the development of systematic theology within the Wesleyan tradition in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. An examination of the Trinitarian, credal shape of Christian theology leads to thinking about the shape of the theological curriculum in the Christian college or seminary and finally to reflections on the role of theology in the church.

The growth of Methodism into a global movement after the Wesleys’ lifetimes resulted in a greater global awareness and participation in the Protestant missionary movement beginning with the establishment of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society in 1818. Correspondingly, the supplements and changes introduced to John Wesley’s 1780 hymn book and the production of new hymn books by seceding Wesleyan groups show an increase in songs devoted to the theme of missions. These hymn books demonstrate a shift in theology from a focus on intercession and millennial expectations to exhortations to use human agency and other means to accomplish the evangelization of the world.

Murray and Olive Titus were American Methodist missionaries who served in India in the first half of the twentieth century. They were outstanding academically, and educational work was central to their missionary endeavours. However, the range of their work expanded greatly during their time in India, tumultuous decades that included world war and independence. This article examines their various areas of ministry, including Murray’s personal and scholarly engagement with Islam, and Olive’s concerns for social and economic development. They both learned to teach and preach in the vernacular, and their interest in and respect for India’s faiths and traditions were appreciated.
