Protestantism is not a monolithic religious category. There are many different theological positions within that nebulous category called Protestantism. Some Protestants have Sacraments, and they even believe that Christ’s body and blood are truly present and not merely represented. Methodism is closer to Catholicism in many ways than nearly all the other Protestant denominations. Anglo-Catholics would be closest.

I watched the program and learned so much about John Wesley and the Methodist Church. Interestingly enough, our parish acquired a 160 y/o former Methodist/Episcopal Church that we are restoring and reconfiguring into a Catholic Church. We were all very surprised to see an altar rail and kneelers (no altar, though). The stained glass windows were all magnificent and we just finished having them professionally restored.

Thanks for the post and ping.
