In my last post, I told you about my heartwarming experience. Because of this experience, I was able to realize other Holy Spirit moments in my life. Unlike those previous experiences, this time I had an insatiable hunger to know more. I made a connection between the Charismatic and my own Methodist tradition. And the first stage of my quest was to learn about my "family tree".

My Charismatic Quest
In my last post, I told you about my heartwarming experience. Because of this experience, I was able to realize other Holy Spirit moments in my life. Unlike those previous experiences, this time I had an insatiable hunger to know more. I made a connection between the Charismatic and my own Methodist tradition. And the first stage of my quest was to learn about my "family tree".

Them Wesley Boys

Four years separate these brothers in age, yet age couldn't keep them apart in their ministry. John, the elder, already a college professor at Oxford and an Anglican Priest when his younger brother, Charles, started at university. Charles, an eager young Christian, formed a prayer and study group known as the "Holy Club". John soon joined the "Holy Club", and this band of brothers was mockingly called, "Methodists", because of their methodical means of prayer, study, and action. However, it would be something far more than their devoted acts of piety that would make them early leaders in a spiritual explosion later known as "The Great Awakening".
