EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment when John Wesley, the influential 18th century Methodist preacher, navigates through a flooded landscape in his carriage, en route to another religious meeting in Britain. Dressed in a wet and bedraggled coat, Wesley, who is often considered the founder of the Methodist movement within Christianity, displays an unwavering determination as he leads his horse through the stormy weather. The year was circa 1760, a time when Wesley's evangelical mission was in full swing, and he travelled extensively across the country to spread the word of God. Despite the challenging conditions, Wesley's dedication to his faith and his commitment to serving his community remained unyielding. This historical photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the private life of one of the most significant figures in the history of Christianity in Britain. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. The flooding in the background adds an element of drama to the scene, highlighting the harsh realities of life during this era. The carriage, a common mode of transport during the 1760s, appears simple yet functional, reflecting the practical nature of travel during this time. This photograph is not only a valuable historical record but also a powerful symbol of the enduring spirit of faith and the human will to overcome the elements.
