WHAT DOES WESLEYANISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Wesleyanism

Wesleyanism

Wesleyanism, or Wesleyan theology, is a movement of Protestant Christians who seek to follow the "methods" or theology of the eighteenth-century evangelical reformers, John Wesley and his brother Charles Wesley, and the theological system inferred from the Wesleys' various sermons, theological treatises, letters, journals, diaries, hymns, and other spiritual writings. At its heart, the theology of John Wesley stressed the life of Christian holiness: to love God with all one’s heart, mind, soul and strength and to love one’s neighbour as oneself. See also Ministry of Jesus. Wesley’s teaching also stressed experiential religion and moral responsibility. Wesleyanism, manifest today in Methodist and holiness churches, is named for its founders; the Wesleys. In 1736, these two brothers traveled to the Georgia colony in America as missionaries for the Church of England; they left rather disheartened at what they saw. Both of them subsequently had "religious experiences", especially John in 1738, being greatly influenced by the Moravian Christians. They began to organize a renewal movement within the Church of England to focus on personal faith and holiness.
