What are the 39 articles of religion given by John Wesley in December 1784?
The 39 Articles of Religion can be found in the book of common prayer of the church of england. This can be accessed freely online at http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/england.htm
The 39 Articles of Religion were written by Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, in 1539. They were written as a recommended statement of faith for the Church of England, (Anglican Church). They are no longer binding in the way they once were. They are seen today more as a historical document rather than a general statement of faith.
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, was originally an Anglican priest, thus, after founding the Methodist tradition, he used the 39 Articles of Religion as the primary statement of faith for his new branch of Christianity, with several minor alterations. One alteration in particular was that Wesley re-named the document 'The Articles of Religion' dropping 'the 39' as to distinguish them from the Anglican version of the document.
Although the 39 Articles of Relgion are not seen as binding among the Church of England or any Anglican province, within the Methodist tradition, the 'Articles of Religion'are in fact binding and may not be canonically deviated from.
The original 39 Articles of Religion as written by Thomas Cranmer, can be found in the back of any version of the Book of Common Prayer. The altered version as put forth by John Wesley for the Methodist tradition (The Articles of Religion) may be found in the back of any version of the Methodist Book of Order.
Do Methodist believe in the Virgin Mary?
Yes, methodists believe in the "Virgin Mary" as do all Christians in that she is mentioned in the gospels as the Mother of Jesus and wife of Joseph. Methodists accept all that is biblical about her, that she gave birth to Jesus, sang the Magnificat, was present at the wedding in Cana, was present at the crucifixion and so on.
Correction about the Catholics:
"Mother Of God"
Mary's most fundamental privilege is that of being the Mother of God. We do not mean she produced the divine nature, of course. But her Son is God, so she is the Mother of God.
Catholics don't worship Mary:
But it was misunderstand by many when a priest misinterpret what he said about the word worship.
In common speech "worship" means the adoration given to God alone. In this sense Catholics don't worship Mary or any of the other saints. In fact, the Catholic Church forbids any adoration to be given to any one or any thing but God. But in an older use of the term "worship" could cover not just the adoration of God but also the honor given to anyone deserving of honor. We pray with the saints and ask for their prayers.
Do Methodists practice the Lords supper?
Methodists practice the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion. However, Methodists do not believe in transubstantiation; rather, they consider the bread and wine to be symbolic.

Yes they do for they are still members of the church even though the church employs them. Church employment is no different to having a job outside of the church. I was organist and musical director in a church for 17 years - a paid position through a sizable honorarium. There was no problem in me being on the council, and I had full voting rights. The only time I left a meeting out of courtesy was when I was actually the object of discussion - e.g. if the council reviewed my pay. I then slipped out of the room for that agenda item only, so that I could not be seen to bias the vote, nor be accused of voting myself a payrise!. At such times, the minutes recorded my vote as an abstention. Otherwise, there was absolutely no problem me being their and my opinions were always greatly valued. == Whether they can vote in a different capacity depends on the constitution and/or bylaws of that church.
What were the results of John Wesley's ministry?
