... This quote is humorous because it follows a typical mindset of many people: Baptists and Methodists are practically the same. Most towns include several types of churches, but two of the most popular denominations in the “Bible Belt,” the Midwestern part of the United States, are Baptists and Methodists. Many people are under the impression that Methodists and Baptists are so closely related that the two denominations just branched off from each other at some point. ... The Baptists have since split into many branches and have many different types of Baptist beliefs. The Methodist church went on a completely different route. ... The Church of England from there split into two different churches: the Methodist church and the Anglican church. ... The Baptists do not have people in higher positions that look over the overall functioning of all Baptist churches: local, state-wide, or national. ... All of these different positions within the Methodist churches reflect on the Catholic origins. ... Like in the Methodist church the appointed lay leaders of the congregation attend Annual Conference, which is the yearly meeting of all of the churches throughout the conference.
