Bishop Pierce was Bishop in the ENTIRE WORLD. This was especially true in the 1800's. These Bishops traveled and ministered throughout the world, not just the USA.

replying to unsigned comment from User:Pastorwayne : Maybe, but he was born in the USA, died in the USA, ordained in the USA, and the whole of his career as described in the article was based in the U.S.A. He may have travelled too, in which case you could add something like "bishop in the USA who travelled on missions to Africa" (or wherever he went to!). Even today, about 80% of U.M. church members are in the U.S.A., so I don't think it is misleading to describe a 19th century American bishop as being in the USA ... but maybe it would be more comfortable for you if we used the adjective "Ameeican" rather than saying in the USA? In the hope that resolves things, I have reinstated the national link by putting the word "American" in there, so that the reader can tell from the first sentence that this is not, for example, a methodist from England.

Bishop Pierce was a hardcore confederate read "The Southern Methodist Church and the Proslavery Argument", published in The Journal of Southern History, Vol. 32, No. 3. (Aug., 1966), pp.325-341.
