A Protestant sect organized in Baltimore in 1830 as a result of a desire to develop sentiment in favor of "the right of the laity to an equal representation with the ministers in the lawmaking bodies of the church"; in accord with the Methodist Episcopal Church in matters of doctrine; in government, however, the Methodist Protestant Church had no bishops or presiding elders and no life officers of any kind. They published four periodicals. Foreign missionary work was carried on in Japan, China, and India. In 1939 it merged with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South and Methodist Episcopal Church to form the Methodist Church, which today is known as the United Methodist Church.
