Jr. of Savannah, who is chairman
of the Wesley Statue Committee.
John Wesley was a 33-year-old
missionary of the Anglican Chur

orphanage. He left Georgia, how
ever, after disputes with General
James Oglethorpe and felt he had
been unsuccessful in his mission

On February 4 every church in
Georgia is expected to take an off

Wesley and make reference to his
work in Georgia.
When the statue is completed,
it will be the only memorial in Ge

The venture is a joint project
of The Methodist Church in Geo

Mr. Webb said the completed
memorial would be more than
“just another statue.” “Like
all other great Christian art, the
sculpture will find its justificat

Christ more faithfully,” he dec
lared.
