Pietism and Methodism « Churchmouse Campanologist

Wesley and Zinzendorf



Pietism and Methodism « Churchmouse Campanologist:


"John Wesley and the Moravians


At Oxford in 1729, John Wesley’s brother Charles, George Whitefield and other students formed a society called the Holy Club. John Wesley, older and by then ordained in the Anglican Church, had already begun devoting his life to the pursuit of holiness."

GJ - C. F. W. Walther belonged to a Holy Club at Leipzig, but he left that Pietistic circle for Stephan's Pietistic circle.


The Saxon migration was a Pietistic enterprise, not Lutheran orthodoxy at all.

Thank you very much, Dr Jackson, for the mention and for the priceless illustration of Wesley and Count von Zinzendorf together -- brilliant!

If it hadn't been for your writing about pietism, I would probably have ignored it.

Many thanks!
