Early Methodism and its founder John Wesley are the focus of this study, which follows its roots from the Episcopalian church and examines the authority held by Wesley, who wanted to remain tied to the Church of England Church of England: see England, Church of. . Burdon emphasizes this viewpoint while discussing Wesley's Assistants, the ordination ordination: see ministry; orders, holy.  of his preachers, his discussion of ordination by prayer in Prophets and Priests from 1789, and the liturgy and text used. Burdon is a minister in the Methodist Church in the UK.
