•  Arminianism

  Arminianism is a school of soteriological thought within Protestant Christianity based on the theological ideas of the Dutch Reformed theologian Jacobus Arminius (1560-1609) and his historic followers, the Remonstrants. The doctrine's acceptance stretches through much of mainstream Christianity, including evangelical Protestantism. Arminianism holds to the following tenets: Humans are naturally unable to make any effort towards salvation. They possess free will to accept or reject salvation.

•  Pietism

  Pietism was a movement within Lutheranism, lasting from the late 17th century to the mid-18th century and later.

•  Defrocking

  To defrock, unfrock, or laicize a minister or priest is to remove their right to exercise the functions of the ordained ministry. This may be due to criminal convictions, disciplinary matters, disagreements over doctrine or dogma. It may also be voluntarily for personal reasons (taking over a family business, declining health, old age, or for various other reasons). Various Christian denominations have different procedures for doing this.

•  Justification (theology)

  In Christian theology, justification is God's act of declaring or making a sinner righteous before God. The concept of justification occurs in many books of the Old and New Testaments. The extent, means, and scope of justification are areas of significant debate. Broadly speaking, Catholics and Orthodox Christians distinguish between initial justification—which in their view occurs at baptism—and final justification, accomplished after a lifetime of striving to do God's will.

•  Methodist Rome

  Methodist Rome was a nickname sometimes given to the city of Toronto, Ontario in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The moniker implied that Toronto was as central to Canadian Methodism as Rome, or more specifically Vatican City in Rome, is to Catholicism. Methodism was never the faith of the majority of Torontonians, yet it played a very important role in the city. In addition, Toronto had one of the largest (if not the largest) population of Methodists in the world.
