John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, was an Anglican priest in England. Because of his forthright and uncompromising preaching style, rectors literally locked their doors to prevent Wesley from preaching from their pulpits. Not to be prevented from his evangelical calling, Wesley began open field preaching. He would find a field, set up his preaching booth, and begin to proclaim the gospel message.
The first time Wesley preached like this he was pelted with rocks. Wesley wrote in his journal after the first experience that he would walk the field and if the rocks were too big, he would move his preaching booth to where the rocks were smaller and less easily hurled at him.
