Fletcher of Madeley

A concise biography traces the life and ministry of an evangelical leader associated with Wesley and the early Methodist movement, surveying his upbringing, spiritual disciplines, and pastoral labors at a rural parish. It follows his entry into the ministry, early difficulties, doctrinal controversies—especially over Calvinism—and his ties to Trevecca College, periods of failing health and residence in Switzerland, marriage, and last years. The narrative uses correspondence and unpublished papers to illuminate his theological commitments, pastoral approach, and personal character.
