Ep. 43 - John William Fletcher - The Vicar of Madeley
The Vicar of Madeley –The Reluctant Saint of Methodism, John William Fletcher has often been referred to as the “First Theologian of Methodism.” He was perhaps most known for defending John Wesley’s position of Arminianism against the Calvinistic influences that were present in the early Methodist Movement. He was the man that John Wesley had hand-picked to be his successor after his death. Wesley believed that Fletcher was the only one who was qualified to act as his replacement – unfortunately, Fletcher (who was significantly younger) died 6 years before Wesley. He is an interesting character that has been largely forgotten... but his influence in Methodism should not be ignored. So, join us on this Historical episode of the Methodical Methodist Podcast as we will explore the life and ministry of John William Fletcher. Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review!

Customer Reviews
Great!!
I binge listened to these. They were great, informative, and inspiring. I wish there were more.
Thoughtful
Andrew is a very thoughtful theologian. His podcasts are topical and entertaining. While in person churches are put on hold, this is a great way to fill the gap.
Fantastic perspective!
Andrew has such a unique way of looking at things and I feel like I have already grown and learned so much with only a few episodes. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
