Cure of Ars Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 [quote]Can any who spend several years in those seats of learning, be excused if they do not add to that reading of the Fathers? the most authentic commentators on Scripture, as being both nearest the fountain, eminently endued with that Spirit by whom all Scripture was given. It will be easily perceived, I speak chiefly of those who wrote before the council of Nicea. But who could not likewise desire to have some acquaintance with those that followed them? with St. Chrysostom, Basil, Augustine, and above all, the man of a broken heart, Ephraim Syrus? -- John Wesley [/quote] John Weslty was the founder of the Methodists. This quote could be a good opener when talking with a Methodist about the Church Fathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
