John Wesley is well known as the father of the Methodist church, but few know about his ardent anti-war statements.

Great episode! I was a member of a Wesleyan church for 9 years before deciding to become Mennonite over the issue of nonviolence. I had never heard anything about Wesley’s antiwar statements during that time. Bonus points for referencing a song by Sabaton (one of my favorite bands.)
By the way, there’s a typo in the title; it says The Folly and Madness OR War, instead of “of War.”
Thank you!
