When I was reading Wesley’s journal, I noticed that before
Wesley’s Aldersgate experience, he seemed
to have founded a society (or at least he was involved in it), which he called “our
little society”, in obedience to the command of God by St. James together with
Peter Bohler (p. 55). Then there is a footnote explaining that the society was
heavily influenced by the tone and temper of Moravian quietism (p. 55). And the
journal mentioned Moravian for a few times. So I was wondering if Wesley was at
least involved in this society, how much and to what extend had he been
influenced by the Moravians’ teaching? What happened to the “our little society”?
Did the rules that the society established among themselves somehow became
Methodist doctrine afterwards?
