Today in History - March 2, 1791 - John Wesley Dies
OK, please don't think I'm having memory problems (which I do have anyway!). I know I posted already for this day, but here is something that came to my attention that happened this day in History. Today in History, John Wesley, Founder of the Methodist church denomination, died in the year, 1791.
According to Christianity today, records were kept of how many pastors and minsters came out of his own ministry;71,668 British members, 294 preachers, 43,265 American members with 198 preachers and 19 missionaries. Today Methodists number about 30 million worldwide (see issue 2: John Wesley and issue 69: Charles and John Wesley).
