Yes, since 1956.
There were 16 prime ministers before him.
There are many similarities between Catholic Churches and Church of England churches for the simple reason that all the original Church of England churches were Catholic Churches before they were stolen by King Henry VIII and appropriated for his new "church". They all contain an altar situated in a sanctuary, and a place for the people (called the nave). Many of them still contain a choir between the nave and the altar.
Yes he was. His mother was Catholic and his father was Methodist. His mother baptised him into the Catholic faith before she died, but he was raised Methodist.

Churches existed before WW2 and existed after WW2. A few churches were destroyed as part of the collateral damage related to the conflict.
Theologically the answer to this question is Jesus Christ. Across the globe there are several Methodist Churches (denominations). The United Methodist Church, the largest, has no one person who is the leader of the church, like a Pope or Archbishop. Instead, the form of governance is more like the US federal government. It has Judiciary, a Legislative, and Executive bodies. However, the Executive is composed of all the active Bishops, not one President like in the U.S. Federal Government. Official policy is set every four years at the General Conference, a legislative body composed of representative delegates. Twice a year a nine-person Judicial Council meets to interpret questions of law brought before it (questions of policy and procedure, not of censure or discipline). The Episcopacy (the Executive body) is composed of all the active bishops. It does have a President, but this bishop does not act as the president of the denomination, only of the Council of Bishops. In other churches, such as the Methodist Church of Great Brittan, they do elect a President every year. The current (2009) President of the Methodist Church of Great Brittan is The Reverend David Gamble.

There are many churches that will gladly hire ministers who have been trained at schools that are completely non-denominational. The best approach, wherever possible, is to speak with someone at a particular church where you might want to work before you commit to any degree program. The information you get may have a profound effect on which school you choose.
