""A Defense Of Our Fathers: And Of The Original Organization Of The Methodist Episcopal Church, Against Alexander McCaine And Others"" is a book written by John Emory in 1854. The book provides a detailed account of the history of the Methodist Episcopal Church and defends its original organization against the criticisms of Alexander McCaine and other opponents. Emory argues that the church's structure and practices were established by its founders and were not the result of later innovations or deviations from the original plan. He also addresses various controversies and challenges faced by the church over the years, including the issue of slavery and the question of whether lay members should have a greater role in church governance. Throughout the book, Emory emphasizes the importance of preserving the traditions and values of the Methodist Episcopal Church and maintaining its unity and integrity. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American Methodism and the development of religious institutions in the United States.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
