Description: This chapter considers the development of opposing strands in the historical vision of Methodist people in the southern world from the Providential narratives of founders and colonisers to the commemorative history writing that followed and the slow decline in confidence and self-identity which continues to the present day. Reflexive historical writing about Methodism in Australia began in the 1950s and was encouraged by the establishment of historical societies and journals as well as the Association for the Journal of Religious History. Changes in Methodist historical practice over the course of Australian history reflect the transformation of the Methodist movement from its British origins until the inauguration of the Uniting Church.
