Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion

He was supported in travel to Nova Scotia as a missionary to minister to the Black Loyalists who had been resettled there by the Crown.

Many of the members of the congregation which he organized in Birchtown, Nova Scotia later chose to emigrate and resettle in Sierra Leone, the new British colony in West Africa.

[5] The Countess of Huntingdon's gave strong support to the Calvinistic Methodist movement in Wales in the 18th and early 19th centuries, including the foundation of a theological college at Trefeca (Trevecca) in 1760.

[7] A UK-registered charity provides financial help with ministers' wages and training and for Connexion schools and teaching salaries in the latter country.

[8][9][10] Of the UK churches, seven normally have full-time pastors: Eastbourne, Ely, Goring, Rosedale, St. Ives, Turners Hill and Ebley.
