| Summary: | Primitive Methodism was born exactly two hundred years ago as an offshoot of the huge American-style Camp Meetings held in a field in the hilltop village of Mow Cop. Frowned on by mainstream Wesleyans, the often rough-and-ready preachers nevertheless made a great impact, particularly among working-classes. In many ways the 'Prims' were the Pentecostals of the nineteenth century - unconventional, charismatic and speaking a language 'understonded by the puple' (Wycliffe). The story of Dick Weaver and Bendigo, champion bareknuckle pugilist, is just one episode from a colourful history. |
