Jabez Bunting
Jabez Bunting, English Wesleyan divine, was born of humble parentage at Manchester.
Career
He continued to minister for upwards of fifty-seven years in Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, London and elsewhere. In 1835 he was appointed president of the first Wesleyan theological college (at Hoxton), and in this position he succeeded in materially raising the standard of education among Wesleyan ministers. He was four times chosen to be President of the Conference (the ruling body of Wesleyan church), was repeatedly secretary of the Legal Hundred, and for eighteen years was secretary to the Wesleyan Missionary Society.
He favored the extension of lay power in committees, and was particularly zealous in the cause of foreign missions.
Bunting was a popular preacher, and an effective platform speaker. In 1818 he was given the degree of Master of Arts by the University of Aberdeen, and in 1834 that of Doctor of Divinity by Wesleyan University of Middletown, Connecticut, United States.
He was interred in Wesley"s Chapel, London.
Achievements
-
He was president of the first Wesleyan theological college. Under him Methodism ceased to be a society based upon Anglican foundation, and became a distinct church.
