My pastor yesterday quoted John Wesley's diary from the pulpit. Afterwards he sent me the source (Bible.org):
• May 5 Sunday am. Preached in St. Anne’s. Was asked not to come back any more.• May 5 Sunday pm. Preached in St. John’s. Deacons said “Get out and stay out.”• May 12 Sunday am. Preached in St. Jude’s. Can’t go back there either.• May 19 Sunday am. Preached in St. Somebody Else’s. Deacons called special meeting and said I couldn’t return.• May 19 Sunday pm. Preached on street. Kicked off street.• May 26 Sunday am. Preached in meadow. Chased out of meadow as bull was turned loose during service.• June 2 Sunday am. Preached out at the edge of town. Kicked off the highway.• June 2 Sunday pm. Afternoon, preached in a pasture. Ten thousand people came out to hear me.
OBSERVATION: I'd be a little worried to serve on a Church Council after reading this. (I wonder if these aren't abridged entries to his diary).
