Bible Christians were a methodist connexion founded in 1815 in north Devon by William O'Bryan(1778–1868), a Wesleyan farmer of Anglican and quaker descent, an attractive but refractory personality. The Bible Christians joined with the New Connexion and United Free Churches in 1907 to form the United Methodist Church which, in turn, entered the methodist church in 1932.
