Wesley's purpose was "to reform the
nation, particularly the church, and to spread holiness over these lands."
While he greatly influenced the growth of education, prison reform, social
welfare, human rights, and was active in the anti-slavery movement, his
religious contribution was his greatest. Today, about 100 denominations
look to Wesley as their ecclesiastical ancestor.

"We do not desire to
hear our children weep for bread and have none to give them." Wesley
renounced "private piety that clings to Jesus and ignores the human
agonies of this world."

"Even those who
persecute you, those who are evil and unthankful, you are to love with
an invariable thirst for their happiness."
"Where the Spirit
governs, there is a soft and yielding spirit, a mildness and sweetness,
a tenderness of soul."

"A Christian without a
soul friend is like a body without a head."
