Many of you may have gone to Rome. St. Peter’s in the
Vatican is easy to find, but did you know that the main Methodist Church in Rome
is very near; at the other end of the bridge opposite Castel St Angelo (see
map below). A previous minister there is the son-in-law of a
former member at Fulwood,
Liz Huddleston.
If you go to Porto in Portugal, there are three Methodist churches. One, on the right, is a rather ornate example, the Igreja Metodista do Mirante. There are two more in Lisbon.
Others can be found in Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, particularly our twin church in Recklinghausen, and more.
The largest Methodist church in the world is the Kumnan Methodist Church in Seoul, Korea with 140,000 members!
