Wesley's Chapel, The 'Cathedral of World Methodism,' has a real sense of presence about it, not just because John Wesley lived and died here - though the spirit of the man pervades the place - but because it is hallowed by the prayers of generations of people. This absorbing book describes Wesley's life and work, and takes the visitor on a tour of the chapel. Look out for more Pitkin Guides on the very best of British history, heritage and travel.

The world Methodist community now numbers over 75 million people in more than 130 countries. The story of Methodism is fascinating and multi-faceted because there are so many distinct traditions within it, some stemming directly from Britain and some arising in the United States. In this book, the authors address the issue of what holds all Methodists together and examine the strengths and diversity of an influential major form of Christian life and witness. They look at the ways in which Methodism has become established throughout the world, examining historical and theological developments, and patterns of worship and spirituality, in their various cultural contexts. The book reflects both the lasting contributions of John and Charles Wesley, and the on-going contribution of Methodism to the ecumenical movement and inter-religious relations. It offers both analysis and abundant resources for further study.
