wesley moment

The Wesley Covenant:

It is agreed by us whose names are underwritten to:

First,

that we will not listen or willingly inquire after any ill concerning each other;

Secondly,

that if we do hear any ill of each other, we will not be forward to believe it;

Thirdly,

that as soon as possible we will communicate what we hear

by speaking or writing to the person concerned;

Fourthly,

that until we have done this,

we will not write or speak a syllable of it to any person whatsoever;

Fifthly,

that neither will we mention it, after we have done this, to any other person;

Sixly,

that we will not make any exception to any of these rules,

unless we think ourselves absolutely obliged to do so.
