Excerpt from The Essentials of Methodism
If we look at Methodism historically, we soon discern that all its doctrines and cere monials and rules for practice have to do with their effect on inner Spiritual experience. The Methodist movement arose as a protest against formalism in theology and ritual and practice. The early Methodists made no war on the Church Of England except in the attack upon its lack of spirituality. It has been said that Methodism began when John Wesley found his heart strangely warmed, and that the center of the power of Methodism has always been its emphasis upon inner experience. It is as if our forefathers found ready-to - hand doc trinal' statements and ritualistic Observances and rules Of conduct which they proceeded to fill with a new life.
