John Wesley was not a Calvinist.

Do you think he was born an Arminian? They would not give him a pulpit to preach in ..so there were obviously doctrinal issues ..His mother came from a Puritan family with Puritan relatives

He was born neither Calvinist nor Arminian. To imply he was born with either belief is ludicrous.

They would not give him a pulpit to preach in ..so there were obviously doctrinal issues ..His mother came from a Puritan family with Puritan relatives.

Wesley was an ordained priest in the Church of England, no? It is my understanding that some, not all, of the parish leaders refused to allow him to preach from a pulpil after his return from Georgia.
