Methodism founder John Wesley is estimated to have travelled 250,000 miles in 50 years to teach people about the Christian faith. During his travels, Wesley (and his fellow travelling preachers) relied heavily upon local community members to provide rest and refreshment.
Among Wesley’s hosts was a Cornwall couple who, in 1744, extended their stone cottage to ensure that he and his associates could establish Methodism in the region. 280 years later, the cottage (now a museum) has started hosting workshops for schoolchildren to learn about Wesley and his teachings. You can find out more in this issue of the magazine.
Also in this issue, you can read about a new faith-based hairdressers that’s welcoming, and sharing God’s love with, people who feel unable to go to an ordinary salon. There’s also news from a church that’s providing community members with warmth, food and company during the winter months, and a story about how a Methodist couple are expressing their faith through serving as foster parents.
Other highlights include the relocation of the first Methodist Church-sponsored RHS garden, and a report from a visit to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands Methodist District by the Vice-President of the Methodist Church, Carolyn Godfrey.
