High Point, Jan. 3—Committees in session here this week decided to hold a joint summer conference of pastors and young people of the North Carolina Methodist Protestant denomination at High Point next June.
Heretofore the young people’s conference has been held at Weaverville each year, while the pastors have held their sessions at the Methodist Protestant Children’s Home in this city. It was declared by the committees that it would be advantageous to hold both conferences together.
The pastors will open their meeting on the night of June 15, continuing through noon on June 19. The conference of young people will begin June 16 and will continue through June 26th.
The committee in charge of arrangements for the gathering hope to bring several men of national prominence to the city.
From the front page of the Concord Daily Tribune, Monday, Jan. 5, 1925. The Methodist Protestant Church split off from the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1828 and most merged with the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1939. As of 2008 there are 42 Methodist Protestant Churches in the United States, located in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma. The denomination’s web page is www.themethodistprotestantchurch.org.
