What is the "METHOD" of the Methodist church?
How does it differ from the methods of other Christian denominations, and how does it provide testable, repeatable, consistent evidence for the existence of Risen Jesus as an active agent?
O.M.(Pn-e)G! I took FIREBALL'S advice, went to a METHODIST website to ask WHY they are called "METHODISTS", and found not an explanation, but a picture.

That is not much help.
I found an explanation on a NON-Methodist site. They are called Methodists because of the methodical way they carry out what they believe to be the duties of their faith, and NOT because they have a proven method of demonstrating that Risen Jesus ever existed.
Too bad, that.
MILLIONS of people have had FAITH in various Gods and/or Goddesses, but that is not evidence that ANY of those Gods and/or Goddesses actually exist.
