Abstract

What does history matter? One of the chief values of history is entertainment. It is fascinating to learn about the people of the past. We enjoy listening, seeing and reading about what happened in the past. It is my hope that people who read this thesis will be captivated by the story of the lives of the early circuit riders. History can also be the source of inspiration. As we learn more about those who created the heritage of which we are heirs, we may be inspired to give thanks for their lives, and we may pledge to follow their example. We know that history's real importance is that it helps us understand who we are. It is a clue to our own identity. By reflecting on the past, we can better understand who we are and determine who the future direction of our ministry. This thesis will be a resource in teaching students in confirmation classes and to groups in the church who need to know about their rich United Methodist Heritage. I hope to do presentations on the yearly United Methodist Heritage Day, which is observed every April.
