CHRIST IN WINTER:
Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter –
In these days of
controversy about refugees, I thought it might be interesting to see how the
original Methodists dealt with strangers…
“In the morning I met the
Strangers Society, instituted wholly for the relief, not of our society, but
for the poor, sick, and friendless strangers. I do not think that I ever heard
or read of such an institution till within a few years ago. So this also is one
of the fruits of Methodism.” John Wesley’s Journal, Sunday, March 14, 1790.

observer, not the person observed.” Wm. Sloane Coffin
