Erwin First United Methodist Church

Women have played an integral part in Methodism from the beginning, but many of the stories of early English Methodist women preachers and leaders have been forgotten or distorted. The most well-regarded were known as "Mothers in Israel," a term referring to Deborah the judge in the Old Testament. Eighteenth century women like Susanna Annesley Wesley, Sarah Ryan, Mary Bosanquet Fletcher, Frances Mortimer Pawson, Sarah Crosby and many more were pivotal in the growth of the Methodist movement as class leaders, visitors to the sick, devotional writers, teachers, and even preachers. Discover the richness of their legacy of faithful witness through this exploration of their own theological writings and reflections and their message for the Church today by reading Mothers in Israel: Methodist Beginnings Through the Eyes of Women.
It is available through Amazon, amazon.co.uk, Barnes and Noble, cokesbury.com, Book Depository, eden.co.uk, and some independent stores like CityCenter GalleryandBooks in downtown Fayetteville!
