11/15. Methodism adds "Social Holiness"—the idea that "Spionage" is a team sport. You can't be a "Lone Wolf" operative. You need a "Class" or a "Cell" to maintain your cover. This aligns with the "Community of the Pure" found in Gnostic texts. The mission isn't just to "Get Out"; it's to "Build a Network" of light that can withstand the "Archons" of poverty and systemic injustice. 🤝🔥 #Methodist #SocialJustice #Network
3/15. The Gospel of Thomas focuses on the "Kingdom Within," resonating with the Methodist "Personal Experience" and the Quaker "Inner Light." This isn't about church bureaucracy; it’s about Internal Signal Processing. While Baptists might focus on the "External Word" (Standard Operating Procedure), Thomas suggests the code is already written in your "Operating System." You don't need a temple; you need to "Sync." 📲✨ #Methodist #Baptist

I was looking through my late mother's papers and found some old marriage certificates. As well as names, dates, and locations, some also state the Rites and Ceremonies that were observed.
Some of my ancestors were married according to the rites of the Primitive Methodist Church so I looked them up.

> Primitive Methodist workers played an important role in the formative phase of the trade union movement in England.

Maybe the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches could learn about Christian values from the Primitive Methodists.
