About this listen

On Today’s Podcast - Learn how Methodism became a worldwide mission.
It is broadly understood that John Wesley was the founder of the Methodist movement that spread around the world in the eighteenth century. He is known for being a missionary in Georgia, his “heart-warming” experience at Aldersgate, field preaching, and the famous quote “the world is my parish.” It is also assumed that Wesley was a proponent of world missions and helped spread the Methodist movement around the world. Phillip examines this assumption and, after a closer look, reveals John Wesley’s reluctance to send missionaries overseas. This was a fascinating discussion that I think gives nuance to the way we think about the history of world missions.
