Our class was walking from the Museam of London down to the Bank of England on Aldersgate Street and something kept nagging at me internally. I just knew my professors had said something about Aldersgate Street. To myself I kept saying, "okay, there is something important that happened on this street....maybe not Charleston...you've seen a ton of 'important' things over the last few weeks...." Then the London fog cleared and I saw it: the site of John Wesley's conversion to evangelicalism at the Moravian Meetinghouse. Later, Wesley's worlds would become often quoted:
In the evening I went unwillingly to a society in Aldersgate Street, where one was reading Luther's preface to the Epistle to the Romans. About a quarter to nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation, and an assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine and saved me from the law of sin and death..
Enjoy!
