“I have now no parish of my own, nor probably ever shall… I look upon all the world as my parish.”
John Wesley, 1789
“Our membership is spread over the Metropolitan area. This is a problem, but it is also an opportunity. Here is a place where people from suburbs and apartments, from all social and economic levels, from all age groups come together. We can be a living demonstration that Christian love can bind people of different backgrounds and interests together.”
The Rev. Dr. G. Hugh Wilson, 1961
