Books by Thomas Coke

This is the Minutes from the 1784 Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America. Presiding over the Conference were church leaders Thomas Coke and Francis Asbury. During this Conference they approved John Wesley's revision of the Book of Common Prayer for the Services of the Methodist Church in North America. The Minutes were then bound with copies of the first edition. This booklet contains 81 topics for discussion ranging from serious matters of the church such as how to provide for Ministers, and how to "extirpate Slavery" to practical advice for "several Degrees of Fasting."

This work, written immediately after the abolition of slavery, but 25 years before emancipation, and based on a wealth of documentation, concentrates on the history of the missions in the Caribbean.
