Wesley Corpus

To the Moravian Synod Date: LONDON, December 8, 1745. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1745) Author: John Wesley --- MY BRETHREN, -- Is it not the will of our great Shepherd to gather together in one all His sheep that are scattered abroad Our earnest desire is that this His will may be done. And we are ready to do anything in our power that may in any degree contribute thereto. If you are willing any of your brethren should confer with us, we are ready, and should rejoice therein.Might we not, in a free and brotherly conference,-- 1. See in what points we do already agree together; 2. Consider what points (wherein we do not yet agree) we might suffer to sleep on either side; and 3. Settle how far we might unite, what kind or degree of fellowship we might preserve with each other, even if there should be some points wherein we cannot avoid speaking contrary to each other We desire your answer to this proposal, which is made in simplicity of heart by Your affectionate brethren,
