Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The great American Methodist church, often considered the precursor to many Methodist denominations, was formally organized in Baltimore at the "Christmas Conference" in the year 1784. Following the motion of John Dickens and the approval of the conference, the new church was named the Methodist Episcopal Church. Francis Asbury was ordained as deacon, elder, and superintendent (later known as bishop) on successive days. However, he insisted that the appointment of a bishop should be confirmed by his fellow preachers. Asbury became a pioneering figure in early American Methodism, often revered as the "Prophet of the Long Road" for his extensive traveling and establishment of Methodist societies.
