1669 1742 Samuel Susanna Wesley
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the image of Susanna Wesley (1669-1742), a woman of profound influence in the history of Christianity. Susanna was the wife of the Reverend Samuel Wesley and the mother of the renowned brothers, John and Charles Wesley, who are recognized as the founders of the Methodist movement. Born in Wiltshire, England, Susanna was the daughter of a wealthy family. She married Samuel in 1707, and together they had nineteen children, nine of whom survived to adulthood. Susanna's deep faith and strong spiritual leadership played a significant role in shaping the lives of her sons. She instilled in them a strong work ethic, a deep love for the Bible, and a commitment to serving God. Susanna's influence extended beyond her immediate family. She opened her home to students and travelers, providing them with food, shelter, and spiritual guidance. Her salon became a gathering place for intellectuals and theologians, including the famous hymn writer Isaac Watts. Despite the challenges of raising a large family and managing a household, Susanna found time to engage in charitable work. She established a school for girls and a workhouse for the poor in her community. Her dedication to education and social welfare was a reflection of her deep Christian faith and her belief in the importance of serving others. This portrait of Susanna Wesley, taken in later life, captures the wisdom and strength of a woman who dedicated her life to her family, her community, and her faith. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of Christians, and her influence can be seen in the many charitable organizations and educational institutions that bear her name.
