Contested Wesleyan Conference Deliberations in 1835
Delegates at a Wesleyan assembly argued over lay delegation and the Deed Poll seeking reform of church laws. Speakers pressed for more lay representation, rejected priestly dominance, and demanded a revisal of disciplinary procedures. The meeting adjourned with plans to resume and form a lay rights committee.
