Methodist: Wesley’s Expression of the Anglican Faith

John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church, had no intentions of forming a separate denomination and remained an Anglican Church loyalist. However, Wesley felt the Anglican Church needed revival and was part of the Holy Club, a group known for being methodical in their religiosity, resulting in the nickname, Methodists. The Methodists were a revival movement within the Anglican Church whose spread led to the unintended birth of a separate denomination during the American Revolution. Being unable to receive sacraments under British rule, Wesley ordained his own elders, marking the unofficial separation of American Methodism from the Anglican Church. However, this was primarily an organizational issue; had there been a supply of Anglican clergy in America, the Methodists likely would not have formed a separate denomination.

Why The Fuss About Mutual Submission By Christian Men?

Ideally, there shouldn't be any argument at all about mutual submission. Two adults in a relationship should hold each other accountable, serve one another, love one another and cherish one another. These are two adults in a relationship and not a father and daughter relationship. Imagine an educated woman in a marriage where her opinion...

Submission Isn’t Primarily A Gender Role

More on submission in marriage… There is a danger in trying to interpret everything we read in the Bible that was written more than 6000 and 2000 years ago using a modern understanding of words.
