  • John Wesley - “Thoughts upon Methodism”
  • I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power. And this undoubtedly will be the case unless they hold fast both the doctrine, spirit, and discipline with which they first set out. 
  •  Jaroslav Pelikan 
  • Much of what we seem to associate with church is not really church.  It’s just stuff we like.  “Tradition is the living faith of the dead, traditionalism is the dead faith of the living. And, I suppose I should add, it is traditionalism that gives tradition such a bad name.”
