The Methodist Way was begun in 2019 after the Rev Peter Timms had  struggled for some five years to try to obtain justice from the Executive of the church in a complaint against three ministers in his district.

He was lied to, and sent a false confession to sign – he was threatened with disciplinary action if he did not sign it.

He was later suspended – simply because he protested loudly about the treatment he received from Methodist Church House – and because various friends of his in the Bexhill area published material on the internet about the terrible treatment he received.

This kind of treatment of ministers, using threats and punishments, is not the Methodist Way . The executives of the Church need to be reminded of the principles of the complaints system – justice openness and honesty. This site attempts to draw the Methodist Church back to its guiding principles.
