Administrative history
The British Methodist Episcopal Church was estabished by American missionaries of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church who worked among the blacks who had migrated from the United States after 1834. They organized themselves as a Canadian Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. After several years they decided they did not want to be subject to foreign bishops and discipline. Concessions were made to the A.M.E. Church resulting in the Canadian Conference becoming a self governing and responsible body. In 1856 the British Methodist Episcopal Church of Canada was organized in Chatham, Ontario.
