Free Wesleyan Church Of Tonga
The Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga (FWCT; Tongan: ''Siasi Uēsiliana Tau‘atāina ‘o Tonga'') is a Methodist denomination in Tonga. It is the largest Christian denomination in the nation and is often mistaken to be its state church. It has its roots in the arrival of the first missionaries from the London Missionary Society and the ministry of the Wesleyan Methodist Mission Society, the latter of which cemented its Methodist identity. The Tongan Royal Family has had a close relationship with the Church ever since the advent of the Gospel in the island kingdom, with many of them as prominent members; thus, with these factors, the FWCT can thus be considered a ''de facto'' state church. History Origins The Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga came about as the product of the Union between the Established Free Church of Tonga and the minority Wesleyan Church, which was still in Full Connexion with the Methodist Church of Australasia. Prior to the reforms of George Tupou II in 1898 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
