英國循道會(Methodist Church of Great Britain)是英國的衛理宗教會,也是全世界所有循道及衛理會的母會[3]。1738年,它由英国人约翰·卫斯理(1703年-1791年)和其弟查理·卫斯理于伦敦创立,現在信仰者超20万人[2]。英國循道會的最高組織是每年由會長舉行的循道會年議會(Methodist Conference)。
British Methodism therefore holds an inescapable chronological priority in the history of world Methodism and it has also often been accorded a courteous priority of esteem, being regard still as the 'mother church' by Methodists from many parts of the globe. The story of the origins and development of Methodism in what is now the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, therefore, is the story, first, of an eighteenth-century movement which gave birth to the whole Methodist enterprise and then of a nineteenth-century church whose influence reached out across the world through the missionary endeavors of the various British Connexions within and beyond the British Empire.
