description: A letter from John Christian Keener to Robert Paine confirming that he will organize the Mississippi Conference for Paine, sharing his reflections on the 1881 Ecumenical Conference held in London, and expressing his thoughts on a candidate for Presiding Elder in the Louisville Conference. Keener includes five comments on the Ecumenical Conference, including: 1) a dismissive commentary on the inclusion and consideration of Black and African American Methodists and an insistence that the church should strive to maintain racial segregation, 2) a positive review of an essay read on the influence of Methodism on other churches with the hope that it will influence the British Methodists to break more cleanly with the Church of England, 3) a suspicious and cautious warning against the desires of the Methodist Episcopal Church to encourage more frequent Ecumenical Conferences, 4) a supportive note on Bishop McTyeire's conduct and a claim that the Methodists showed themselves to be "superior", and 5) an expression of concern over a candidate for Bishop.
