Check with anyone, and you will find that John Knox did not found the Methodist church. I’m sure that’s just one of those things you have missed in previous posts, so we’ll just let it pass.
But, just to play the game: My ordination goes back to John Wesley whose ordination goes to the Anglicans, that goes to the Old English Church that goes to Orthodoxy that goes to Jerusalem.
Oh Methodist....sorry I confused you with the other anti-Catholic ears-to-hear. Methodism was founded by John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield in Oxford, England in 1729!! Wow...since 1729!! Your sect isn’t quite 300 yet.
Right....you are a split off sect from a split off sect.
They just do not know any real reformation history.
I had one Catholic tell me Luther left the church because he wanted to divorce his wife.
They are kept ignorant

Who twice lost their apostolic succession and had no valid ordinations.
“... that goes to the Old English Church...”
No such thing. Look at any “Old English” doc. and they’ll cleary say the writers and readers are members of the only Church they knew - the Catholic Church. That’s why all of the “Old English” saints are Catholic saints.
“... that goes to Orthodoxy that goes to Jerusalem.”
No. Catholic, Catholic, Catholic to Jerusalem (which was also Catholic).
By the way, is there any chance you’ll actually wake up and realize that you just demonstrated your sect to be wrong? After all, if you know your ordination is SUPPOSED to go back to Jerusalem then you’re making a case for apostolic succession, the Catholic Church AND NOTHING IN THE PROTESTANT WORLD.
It may be a more direct link than that: Was Wesley Consecrated as an Orthodox Bishop?
