The British in their Empire did not spread Christianity -- this is in contrast to the Portugueuse and Spanish. That is why the majority of Christians in India today are Catholic and next to none are Anglican

One of the most powerful evangelical movements of the 18th century was Wesley's Methodism, which he intended as an enhancement or reform of Anglicanism. Instead, like Luther, he was rejected and expelled. It was to our benefit, since Methodist Episcopalianism was at one time the largest U.S. denomination after Episcopalian Anglicanism.

Sadly, Wesley's welcoming church, which helped break the ironclad British class system with regard to admitting individuals to church participation, has in the past 50 years devolved into just another Democrat outpost of heresy and "Nice"-ism. But it was a force for good for 300 years, from before the American Revolution until the swingin' 60s.

Methodism starts only in about 1784. That’s totally about 230 years, not 300 to today. And i,pf you count until the 60s then it was less than 180 years old. In any case it hardly made any inroads to India - that’s why less than 0.5% of Indians are Anglicans/Methodists/Lutherans/Calvinists.
