John and Charles Wesley were prominent members of a group at Oxford University around 1730 which met to read the New Testament in Greek and visited the sick and those in prison. In 1736 they sailed to Georgia as missionaries and came into contact with pietism. Some form of organisation became necessary and lay preachers were appointed, as the established Church rejected the movement. In 1787, Methodist chapels were licensed under the Toleration Act. There are some 30 million Methodists today.
Catalogue of Works in Refutation of Methodism was created in 1846.
