What it meant for him seemed to change, but it looks like we can say <i>something</i> happened. So it is worth celebrating. Sarah: You're right! Americans can't pull off 'And Can It Be' like the British! Olive, you’re probably right: many Methodists don’t know what Aldersgate Day is about, but then again I’m not sure that Wesley knew.

Sarah: You’re right! Americans can’t pull off ‘And Can It Be’ like the British!

Slightly modified, of course. Unfortunately, we didn't get to sing And Can it Be. I've given up singing it over here. They just can't do it justice and listening to them try to sing it is more depressing than not singing it at all.

I'm glad to hear that you celebrated Wesley Day(yesterday) in your service today. Here it was not even mentioned and I doubt if many of our people even know that it is Aldersgate Sunday today. Perhaps this is because our membership is made up of ex-Anglicans, ex-Presbyterians, ex-URC members, etc. I will take the passage from Wesley's Journal with me tonight and see how mny are aware of the occasion!
