John Wesley led the Second English Reformation. His Methodist
'Connexion' was divided from the Church of England, not by dogma
and doctrine but by the new relationship which it created between
clergy and people. Throughout a life tortured by doubt about true
faith and tormented by a series of bizarre relationships with
women, Wesley kept his promise to 'live and die an ordained priest
of the Established Church'. However by the end of the long
pilgrimage - from the Oxford Holy Club through colonial Georgia to
every market place in England - he knew that separation was
inevitable. But he could not have realised that his influence on
the new industrial working class would play a major part in shaping
society during the century of Britain's greatest power and
influence and that Methodism would become a worldwide religion and
the inspiration of 20th century television evangelism.
