Ep. 15 - Thomas Coke - Father of Methodist Missions - a podcast by Andrew Lay

Thomas Coke has been called – “The Apostle of Methodism” and “The Father of Methodist Missions.” John Wesley called him “The Flea” because he traveled around so much! Thomas Coke, was one of the first two bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States – along with Francis Asbury. During his lifetime, he set up the General Conference, the Book of Discipline, and the Trust Clause which states that property is not held by the local congregations, but by the denomination. He traveled to America nine times, and his love for missions is what helped make the church global.
