EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases Theophilus Lessey (1787-1841), an esteemed Cornish Methodist churchman and President of the Wesleyan Conference in 1839. Lessey's deep connection to the Methodist faith began when he was personally baptized by John Wesley himself in 1787. This significant moment marked the start of a lifelong dedication to the teachings of Wesley and the Methodist community. Theophilus Lessey's influence within the Methodist Church extended beyond his local congregation. In 1839, he was appointed as President of the Wesleyan Conference, a role that required him to lead and guide the Methodist Church in Britain during a time of great change and growth. His tenure as President was marked by his unwavering commitment to the principles of Methodism and his ability to bring people together in the spirit of unity and faith. This photograph print is a rare and valuable historical artifact, bearing the autograph of Theophilus Lessey along the bottom edge. The inscription, dated 1839, serves as a testament to the importance of Lessey's role within the Methodist Church during this pivotal period in its history. The image itself captures the essence of a man who dedicated his life to the teachings of John Wesley and the Methodist faith, leaving a lasting impact on the religious landscape of Cornwall and beyond. Theophilus Lessey's story is an inspiring one, reminding us of the power of faith and the importance of leadership in shaping the future of religious communities. This photograph print is not only a beautiful piece of historical art, but also a reminder of the rich history and traditions of the Methodist Church in Britain.
