The Nazarenes broke off from the Methodist Episcopal Church in the late 1800s over disputes relative to the call and demands of the Holiness Movement. The Holiness movement taught that one should strive, through the grace of God, to attain Entire Sanctification in this life. Attainment of Entire Sanctification entailed an outward expression of good works, and this outward expression -- according to the founders of the Church of the Nazarene -- had particular implications for ministry with the poor, homeless, and those of other religious backgrounds. Many Methodist clergy were opposed to the particulars of Holiness Doctrine where they differed from the the denominational leadership's teaching on the subject, and hence those who supported Holiness doctrines were "forced out." This resulted in the formation of the Church of the Nazarene in 1895, although several other Holiness branches had previously formed as much at 7 years earlier.
