NEW ZEALAND PRIMITIVE METHODIST MINISTERS This research is dedicated to Mr. Alan Charlesworth Armitage (1915-2002) of Christchurch, who encouraged this research. His family roots in England were in the West Riding. Originally Independents living at Hightown in the Spen Valley, here they joined the Primitive Methodists and then moved to Leeds. Subsequently some of the family moved to New Zealand where they became Wesleyan Methodists. by CIRCUITS [2015]
In 1988 the late William Leary published his Ministers & Circuits in the Primitive Methodist Church, a Directory which records the ministerial stationing. Ths accuracy of Leary s listing in part is complicated by an inconsistency of presenting material for the oversea stations Australia/Australasia, Canada and New Zealand. His source for this research was the annual Primitive Methodist Conference. When conference met in late spring in the United Kingdom to decide the ministerial stationing, it was mid-winter in New Zealand. Given also the time taken to get there from the United Kingdom, especially prior to the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, the newly arrived minister might be go to another circuit other than that in the Conference Minutes. The New Zealand Conference also met in the spring, mid-winter in the United Kingdom One further complication is not so much that ministers served both in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, but some served both in Australia and New Zealand (Australasia), and a few also in Canada. There are clear differences between what William Leary recorded from the Conference Minutes {left column) and what can be concluded from New Zealand sources (right column), which includes J. Guy, W.S. Potter, Jubilee Memorial Volume, or, Fifty Years of Primitive Methodism in New Zealand (1897). These can be detected by comparing the two columns. There are also some contradictions within the NZ sources. It has also been possible to give the circuits of ministers after Primitive Methodism joined the united New Zealand Methodist Church in 1913. This new listing is an attempt both to reconcile two main sources and also enables contradictions to be identified ABBREVIATIONS B - born CH - children Ct. - circuit D - died - EM - entered ministry Kendall - H.B.
