"Alexander Kilham, Minister of the Gospel (1762-1798) was a radical Wesleyan itinerant minister who eventually founded the Methodist New Connexion. Kilham became a local preacher in 1782 and acted as assistant to R.C. Brackenbury in the Channel Islands. By 1785 he had met John Wesley and become an itinerant preacher. Following Wesley's death, Kilham became involved in the various debates about Methodism and its future. He was more radical than many of his Methodist contemporaries and advocated the formal separation of Methodism from the Anglican Church. He made enemies among the Methodist establishment and was expelled from the Methodist Church in 1796."
