"John Wesley " was an Anglicanism/ Anglican Anglican divine/divine and Christian theology/theologian who, with his brother Charles Wesley and fellow cleric George Whitefield, is credited with the foundation of the Evangelicalism/evangelical movement known as Methodism. His work and writings also played a leading role in the development of the Holiness movement and Pentecostalism.

Educated at Charterhouse School and Oxford University, Wesley was elected a fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford in 1726 and ordination/ordained a priest two years later. Returning to Oxford in 1729 after serving as curate at his father's parish, he led the Holy Club, a club for the purpose of study and the pursuit of a devout Christian life; it had been founded by his brother Charles, and counted George Whitefield among its members. After an unsuccessful ministry of two years at Savannah, Georgia/Savannah in the Georgia Colony, Wesley returned to London and joined a religious society led by Moravian Church/Moravian Christians. On 24 May 1738 he experienced what has come to be called his evangelical conversion, when he felt his "heart strangely warmed". He subsequently departed from the Moravians, beginning his own ministry.
