 JOHN WESLEY’S SYNTHESIS OF THE REVIVAL PRACTICES OF JONATHAN EDWARDS, GEORGE WHITEFIELD, NICHOLAS VON ZINZENDORF
It is well known that John and Charles Wesley and two of their fellow Oxford Methodists traveled from England to Savannah, Georgia in 1735 in order to serve the spiritual needs of the English colonists, provide administrative assistance to General Oglethorpe, and serve as missionaries to the Indians.
Though evidently pleased to meet Zinzendorf and impressed by the fraternal love among the residents of these communities, he was troubled by the paternalistic autocracy of the Count and the secrecy and spiritual smugness of his followers.

Spener now hoped to proceed unmolested in his work, but his plans were abruptly frustrated in 1682 by the secession of a number of his most zealous friends and adherents from all connection with the Church.
A portion of these Frankfort separatists emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1683; and Spener's position was still further complicated by misunderstandings with the municipal council, which proved little disposed to comply with his wishes in combating public offenses, regularly inspecting catechetical examinations, and effecting a better organization of the parishes and of the practise of confession.
At Berlin, unlike Saxony, Spener and Pietism were to a certain extent protected by Elector Frederick III.
