Susanna Wesley: Mother of Methodism

More at www.umc.org/videos
Susanna Wesley is one of the most significant mothers and women of faith in Christian history. John and Charles Wesley were greatly influenced by their mother’s devout faith, discipline and leadership qualities in ways we see in The United Methodist Church today. “Susanna Wesley is a major difference maker. And the differences that she made have lived on from the history of 17th and 18th century well into the present moment because of the sons that she raised,” says the Rev. Alfred T. Day III, with the United Methodist General Commission on Archives and History.

Wonder what she would think about what is happening within the church now , turning from the true word of God ,

"Sin to you", Susanna Wesley's letter to John: "Take this rule: whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off your relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself." - Susanna Wesley (Letter, June 8, 1725)
