Do not imagine an outward form, a round of duties, is religion. Do not suppose that honesty, justice and whatever is called morality (though excellent in its place) is religion. And least of all dream that orthodoxy, right opinion, vulgarly called faith, is religion.
The End of Christ's Coming
I take religion to be... a constant ruling habit of soul, a renewal of our minds in the image of God, a recovery of the Divine likeness, a still-increasing conformity of heart and life to the pattern of our most holy Redeemer.
To Richard Morgan, 1734
The Rev. John Wesley, AM
