Billington, Raymond J., The Liturgical Movement and Methodism (London: Epworth Press, 1969), 217 pp.Google Scholar, originally a Birmingham M.A. thesis, is authored by a “non-church” historian Interested in implications of the movement for Methodism, who favors experiment but recognizes value of continuing tradition for those who find it meaningful Early in the discussion came Pickering, W.
