A path that branches,
meets and parts.

Branches · 6
Many paths. Shared histories.
6 branches recorded under Methodism, one step down, as the records give them.
What this means
Association and branching, in both directions. Traditions overlap, split and re-merge; this is not a single-origin family tree, and being listed under another tradition is not the same as being recognised by it.
Does not imply a clean single-origin family tree · that the parent recognises the branch

Attributed founding
Whom the records name as founder
What this means
An attribution, and a contested one in most traditions: it does not mean the tradition began fully formed, nor that later adherents accept the attribution.

What this means
Records whose own statements name this tradition — 16 of them. Computed from those statements, not curated here, and ordered by how widely each is linked across Wikipedia — those at home in the tradition’s collection first, and those with a picture first among the leading few — rather than by significance to the tradition.
An affiliation recorded on a person is a third party’s record, often of one period of a life — not that person’s belief at every point in it.

Connections
How Methodism connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Affiliation 1
What this means
Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.
