A Visit From John Wesley (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781960326089)

1984 was the Bi-Centennial Year of the founding of the Methodist Church in America. As a Charter Member of a newly established little Methodist Church, several members of our Sunday School Class were asked to select one of the Founding Fathers of the Methodist Church, John Wesley, Charles Wesley, Francis Asbury, or Thomas Coke, and each to present to our Church a program on one Sunday over a period of a month in celebration of the Bi-Centennial Year. I chose John Wesley, and with a love of the church and a love of history, I read every book I could find on John Wesley, wrote a script, and decided to present my program as a costumed portrayal of John Wesley. That was the beginning of almost forty years of portraying John Wesley to churches throughout the North and South Georgia Conferences of the United Methodist Church, as well as a few in North Carolina. One weekend, I presented my portrayal of John Wesley to the United Methodist Men of the North Georgia Conference at their assemblage at Rock Eagle near Eatonton, Georgia. With that same love of history, I also created and presented other costumed portrayals, including those of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry, and presented them to church groups, schools, civic clubs and organizations throughout the Metropolitan Atlanta and North Georgia area.
