Rise of Methodism and its American spread as reform current
In early roots at Unitarian and Presbyterian contexts reformers led by Wesley Whitfield and Lady Huntingdon emerged. The movement grew from the Church of England to form Methodism in 1734. By 1766 John Embury preached in New York and the faith expanded to 11 circuits with 25 preachers. The revolutionary era challenged the church as clergy left, and in 1784 Coke helped reestablish the Methodists in Baltimore with 60 preachers and 12,800 communicants mostly in the South.
