Why did John Wesley Turner create the Methodist religion?

Answer 1

John Wesley was an Anglican priest to the day he died. He never intended to start a separate church. He and his brother Charles started the Methodist movement within the Anglican church out of their belief that:

true Christianity required a change of heart, not merely the observance of ritual; and


the church was not reaching the working classes.

Answer 2

First off, Methodism is NOT a religion. It is a denomination of the Christian religion. Secondly, his name was John Wesley, not John Wesley Turner. John Wesley did not originally mean to establish a new denomination, he just wanted to make the Anglican Church more evangelical.

Answer 3

John Wesley spread the word of God because he believed that everybody should have a chance to hear it. The churches that he wanted to spread were Methodist because the existing churches, namely the Church of England, did not agree with this. He also wanted as many people as possible to hear the word of God so that they could be saved.

Answer 4

John Wesley, yes.
