EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the steadfast and dedicated spirit of Bishop Francis Asbury (1745-1816), a pivotal figure in the history of the American Methodist Episcopal Church. Asbury's influence on the religious landscape of early America is immeasurable, as he played a crucial role in establishing the Methodist movement in the United States and nurturing its growth into a major denomination. Born in England, Asbury immigrated to America in 1771, bringing with him a deep commitment to the Methodist faith and a passion for evangelism. Over the next several decades, he traveled extensively throughout the colonies and young United States, preaching, organizing churches, and training ministers. His tireless efforts earned him the title of "Father of American Methodism." This photographic print, taken from an original painting, showcases Asbury in his bishop's robes, holding a large open book. The book, a symbol of learning and the Word of God, underscores Asbury's role as a spiritual leader and teacher. The solemn expression on his face conveys the gravity of his mission and the depth of his conviction. Asbury's impact on American history extends beyond religious circles. He was a vocal advocate for education and social reform, speaking out against slavery and advocating for the establishment of schools and orphanages. His legacy continues to inspire generations of Methodists and non-Methodists alike, as a testament to the power of faith, perseverance, and the transformative potential of a single individual. This image of Bishop Francis Asbury offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich history of American Methodism and the enduring influence of one of its most remarkable leaders.
