At his coronation in Westminster Abbey after the death of Victoria in 1901, he ordered the construction of a special box (popularly referred to as "the King's Loose Box") for his past...
...many younger ministers complain about. To Kennedy, the right use of organization can foster successful evolution instead of schism-creating revolution. Methodism, he says, is a "strange combination of discipline and freedom-and it is the discipline that makes the freedom possible."
