In early days a Methodist Missionary was quite a curiosity, the preaching of the itinerant Missionaries attracting congregations drawn from miles around. For many years, service was held in the log cabins and under the shade of the spreading forest; thus were the foundations of the church laid, which through successive generations has kept pace with the civilization and progress of the country.

The early Methodists were especially equipped for evangelistic success with a strong organization that went along with the passion - emphasis on lay preaching, camp meetings, organized in circuit or a series of communities linked together under one or two preachers, all under the broader umbrella of a conference or authorizing body.

Note: Includes information from the Christian Guardian newspaper 1919-1925. There are over 1,500 Methodist ministers listed here from all of the different conferences and types of Methodism.

A Methodist convert from Roman Catholicism, he entered the itinerancy in 1755 and travelled until 1764 when he was ordained, without Wesley's permission, by the Greek Orthodox bishop Erasmus. He set up a dissenting meeting house in Bermondsey, London, and in 1765 was invited by a group of Anglicans and Congregationalists from Newfoundland, to be their minister. After his arrival on the island he commenced a ministry organised on Methodist lines. In 1767 some of the colonists petitioned the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel to appoint him as their missionary. He returned to England and was ordained by the Bishop of London with Wesley's approval. Coughlan returned to Newfoundland and formed one of the earliest Methodist Societies in North America. Coughlan resigned his position and crossed the Atlantic for the final time in 1773, after the Methodists in Newfoundland began to suffer persecution, which was encouraged by local merchants and the governor of the colony. He subsequently served as a minister at Cumberland Street Chapel in London.
