I too have heard this, but without documentation.
What IS certain is that Fr. Wesley, in his 80's, wrote in this daily journal that he had celebrated the Eucharist every day of Easter (Bright) Week, as had been is longtime custom.

I find that so odd, that he, a Protestant reformer, should have stayed so connected to the Roman Catholic Church. God does work in mysterious ways, doesn't He?

The Wesleys were always Anglican clergymen. It was their followers that formed Methodism and broke it away from the church of England
