“As for the saints… they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”

Psalm 16: 3

A Wesleyan Way of Living:

John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement, enjoyed and celebrated All Saints Day. In a journal entry from November 1, 1767, Wesley calls it "a festival I truly love." On the same day in 1788, he writes, "I always find this a comfortable day." The following year he calls it "a day that I peculiarly love."

John Wesley
