Background
John Wesley was greatly influenced by the simple faith of the Moravians. In 1735, on board ship bound to Georgia as a missionary, Wesley was frightened during three storms encountered on the voyage. He was amazed at the calmness of the 26 Moravians, including their Bishop Nitschmann. He knew they had found a level of faith and trust that he wanted. Later in London, another Moravian by the name of Peter Bohler encouraged Wesley to move from doctrine to simple faith.
