John Wesley was a prominent English cleric, theologian, and evangelist who played a key role in the revival movement of Methodism within the Church of England. He established societies at Oxford that later formed the foundation of the Methodist movement. Wesley undertook extensive travels, delivering sermons outdoors and forming small Christian communities. He also appointed evangelists to oversee these groups, and he actively supported causes like the abolition of slavery and the empowerment of women preachers. The teachings of Wesley, referred to as Wesleyan theology, remain influential in shaping Methodist beliefs.
