<br/><br/> This article deals with the place and the form of Episcopal authority in British Methodism from its birth in the 1730s to the present day. Born after a de facto schism from the Church of England (which maintains the threefold ministry), British Methodism never adopted the episcopate, contrary to what happened in the United States. British Methodists however have considered since the end of the XVIIIth century that episcope (or episcopal oversight) is duly exercised among them by ordained ministers (or presbyters).
