A Victorian illustration of John Wesley in 1735, on shipboard to Georgia in America. The ship was thrown about in storms and Wesley admired the collective calm of a Moravian group of fellow travellers, who were praying and singing without fear. For some years after, Wesley was influenced by Moravian thought and doctrine.
