Thank you to all the respondents of the questionnaires who gave their thoughts and beliefs, without them this work would not have been possible.

Thank you to Adam Dyjasek who helped me to locate the appropriate references in Methodist Conference Agendas, and arranged for me to visit Methodist Church House.

Thank you to Outcome, who have supported my work in every possible way.

But mostly, thank you to Dawn and David, to whom I owe great thanks for my growth and development in Methodist Faith, without them I am a certain I would not be a Methodist, and would not have had the encouragement to pursue my studies in Theology.
