`  ==Why was the article moved== ``Methodist is a Christian denomination of churches`` ~ While I understand in every day speech people say ``I'm a Methodist`` or ``I go to a Methodist church`` or people refer to ``the Methodists``, but to use the word ``Methodist`` (without the s) just doesn't sound right. I mean if for what ever reason Methodism is so out of the question as a name for this article, at least use ``Methodists``. That way we could write an introduction that flows and is not awkward, such as ``Methodists are Christians ...`` or whatever. But ``Methodist`` used in every day speech is usually used as a descriptor not as a stand alone name for the movement.    `
