The
Articles of Religion are an official doctrinal statement of American
Methodism.
John Wesley abridged for the American Methodists the
Thirty-Nine Articles of
Anglicanism, removing the
Calvinistic parts among others. The Articles were adopted at a conference in 1784 and are found in paragraph 103 of the
United Methodist Church Book of Discipline. They have remained relatively unchanged since 1808 (save for a few additional articles added in later years).
