Travel Notes Countdown to Savannah: John Wesley and Savannah Written by teaberry In early 2007, we started our official Countdown to Savannah. Each Sunday, we posted a different topic about this special city where we met for our first Great Slow Travel Gathering in Spring 2008. With 63 posts over 14+ months, we learned a lot about the many facets of this historic, hospitable and intriguing American city. Our weekly posts touched on Savannah's history, famous people, architecture, food, culture, surrounding area and much more. We hope this information acquaints you with Savannah, entices you to visit this historic city, and prepares you for a very memorable trip. The Father of the Methodist Religion John Wesley, an Englishman who came to Savannah and only stayed for 2 years, had a huge impact on the city and is better known as the father of the Methodist religion. 15th child of Samuel and Susanna Wesley, he was born in England in 1703. His father was an Anglican rector, and his mother was a God-fearing woman who home-schooled all of her children. At the age of 5, he was saved from a death-defying fire, and from that point onward, felt that his life was preserved in order to be of service and purpose - to fulfill God’s will. | |
