Sankey the composer: When you say he composed about 1200 songs, are you referring to the hymn collection "Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos", which contains 1200 items? Less than 20% of these are Sankey's own. He was a collecter and arranger as well as a composer, so perhaps the wording should be changed (unless you have information that he did actually compose 1200)?

Would it not be appropriate to mention "Sacred Songs and Solos" in the article? The collection is widely used to this day. Kkid99 (talk) 23:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

United Methodism
Near the top of the page there is mention made as to Bro. Sankey's conversion in a revival meeting in King's Chapel United Methodist church.

- The United Methodist Church (as a denomination) did not exist however, until many denominational mergers and more than 100 years later.

Perhaps someone found the actual church building that still stands and is referring to it by it's current name rather than by what it was known as in 1856. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.30.23 (talk) 12:38, 19 January 2016 (UTC)


 * That's a good point. Does anyone know any details?  The church was just known as "Kings Chapel" at that time, I think.  I'll make that adjustment.    D b f i r s   15:01, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Good one, hopefully someone who knows more will come along. - Eli. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.30.23 (talk) 03:40, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
