John Wesley background

John Wesley

John Wesley, the sole survivor of a tragic fire that destroyed his family's home, feels an otherworldly calling and becomes a Church of England minister. However, his growing sense of destiny conflicts with the church's shifting values and principles.

Young John Wesley is rescued from a burning home and believes God has a greater purpose for him. He becomes a minister in the Church of England, focusing on the common people and individual spiritual experiences rather than the church's social status. Despite trying to change the church from within, he and his followers are ostracized and earn the nickname "Methodists" due to their methodical approach.
