Wesley Covenant Prayer : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wesley Covenant Prayer
The Wesley Covenant Prayer was adapted by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, for use in services for the Renewal of the believer's Covenant with God. In his ''Short history of the people called Methodists'', Wesley describes the first covenant service; a similar account is to be found in his ''Journal'' of the time. Wesley says that the first service was held on Monday 11 August 1755, at the French church at Spitalfields in London, with 1800 people present. He reports that he "recited the tenor of the covenant proposed, in the words of that blessed man, Richard Alleine". The covenant prayer and service are recognised as one of the most distinctive contributions of Methodism to the liturgy of the church in general, and they are also used from time to time by other denominations. ==Origins== The origins of the covenant prayer have been the subject of some scholarly discussion. While Wesley attributes it to the English puritan Alleine, influences of German pietistic have also been claimed, and also (less frequently) echoes of the high church tradition from which Wesley sprang. The words of the original covenant prayer are lost, but are thought to be reflected in the ''Directions for Renewing our Covenant with God'' which Wesley issued as a pamphlet in 1780.
