| | John of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Born at Beaumont Palace, Oxford, John was the fifth son of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine. | | | On his return to England in 1194, Richard forgave John and named him as his heir. | | | King John's reign has been traditionally characterised as one of the most disastrous in English history: it began with defeats—he lost Normandy to Philippe Auguste of France in his first five years on the throne—and ended with England torn by civil war and himself on the verge of being forced out of power. |

| | 200 Years of United Methodism, page 5 |
| | The father of Methodism, John Wesley, was born in England in 1703, the son of Samuel Wesley, a Church of England clergyman, and his wife, Susanna, who had strong pietist inclinations although she was a convinced member of the Church of England. | | | John Wesley received his education at Oxford University and was ordained a priest of the Church of England. | | | John was unbending as a church leader, in part, perhaps, because he was unsure of his own faith. |

| | John Owen (theologian) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Owen's condition was liberty to all who agree in doctrine with the Church of England; nothing therefore came of the negotiation. | | | In 1669 Owen wrote a spirited remonstrance to the Congregationalists in New England, who, under the influence of Presbyterianism, had shown themselves persecutors. | | | He assisted in the restoration of the Rump parliament, and, when George Monck began his march into England, Owen, in the name of the Independent churches, to whom Monck was supposed to belong, and who were anxious about his intentions, wrote to dissuade him. |

| | John Wycliffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Wyclif's Bible, as it came to be known, was widely distributed throughout England. | | | The Reformer's entrance upon the stage of ecclesiastical politics is usually related to the question of feudal tribute to which England had been rendered liable by King John, which had remained unpaid for thirty-three years until Pope Urban V in 1365 demanded it with menaces. | | | Thomas Netter of Walden highly esteemed the old Carmelite monk John Kynyngham in that he "so bravely offered himself to the biting speech of the heretic and to words that stung as being without the religion of Christ". |

| | Island of Freedom - John Wesley |
| | Wesley discarded many tenets of the Church of England, including the doctrine of the apostolic succession (the maintenance of an unbroken line of succession of bishops of the Christian church beginning with St. Peter), but he never voiced any intention of establishing the movement as a new church. | | | On his return to England in 1738, he again sought out the Moravians; while attending one of their meetings in Aldersgate St., London, on May 24, 1738, he experienced a religious awakening that profoundly convinced him that salvation was possible for every person through faith in Jesus Christ alone. | | | Wesley's thought was based on an Arminian interpretation of the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England but emphasized personal experience of conversion, assurance, and sanctification. |
