Metodizam ili metodistički pokret je grupa istorijski srodnih denominacija protestantskog hrišćanstva koje svoju doktrinu, prakse i verovanja izvode iz života i učenja Džona Veslija. Džordž Vajtfild i Džonov brat Čarls Vesli takođe su bili značajne rane vođe pokreta. Metodizam je nastao kao preporodni pokret u Engleskoj crkvi iz 18. veka i postao je zasebna denominacija nakon Veslijeve smrti. Pokret je imao doseg širom Britanskog carstva, Sjedinjenih Država i šire, zahvaljujući snažnom misionarskom radu,[1] i u današnje vreme obuhvata oko 80 miliona sledbenika širom sveta.[nb 1][2]

Veslijeva teologija, koju podržavaju metodističke crkve, usredsređena je na osvećenje i uticaj vere na karakter hrišćanina. Osobene doktrine uključuju novo rođenje,[3] uverenje,[4][5] udeljenu pravednost, mogućnost celokupnog posvećenja,[6][7][8] i dela pobožnosti. Sveto pismo se smatra glavnim autoritetom, ali metodisti se takođe oslanjaju na hrišćansku tradiciju, uključujući istorijska verovanja. Većina metodista propoveda da je Isus Hrist, sin Božji, umro za čitavo čovečanstvo i da je spasenje dostupno svima. Za razliku kalvinističkog stava da je Bog unapred odredio spasenje odabrane grupe ljudi, mnogi metodisti podučavaju jedan vid arminijanstva.[9] Međutim, Vajtfild i nekoliko drugih ranih vođa pokreta smatrani su kalvinističkim metodistima i držali su se kalvinističke pozicije.

Pored evangelizacije, metodizam naglašava milosrdna dela i podršku bolesnima, siromašnima i ugroženim.[10][11] Ovi ideali, zajednički poznati kao socijalno jevanđelje, sprovode se u delo osnivanjem bolnica, sirotišta, narodnih kuhinja i škola da bi se sledila Hristova zapovest da se širi dobra vest i služi svim ljudima.[12][13][10]

Pokret ima širok spektar oblika bogosluženja, u rasponu od visoke crkve do niske crkve u liturgijskoj upotrebi. Denominacije koje potiču od britanske metodističke tradicije uglavnom su manje ritualističke, dok su rituali više naglašeni u američkom metodizmu, posebno u Ujedinjenoj metodističkoj crkvi.[14] Metodizam je poznat po svojoj bogatoj muzičkoj tradiciji, a Čarls Vesli bio je ključan u pisanju znatnog dela himni Metodističke crkve.[15]

Rani metodisti su poticali sa svih nivoa društva, uključujući i aristokratiju,[nb 2] ali metodistički propovednici su preneli poruku radnicima i kriminalcima koji su u to vreme uglavnom bili izvan dosega organizovane religije. U Britaniji je Metodistička crkva imala veliku uticaj u ranim decenijama radničke klase u razvoju (1760–1820).[17] U Sjedinjenim Državama, to je postala religija mnogih robova koji su kasnije formirali crnačke crkve u metodističkoj tradiciji.

  2. ^ Ova socijalna analiza je rezime širokog spektra knjiga o metodističkoj istoriji, članaka u časopisu Metodistički magazin itd. Većina metodističke aristokratije bila je povezana sa Selinom Hejstings, groficom od Hantingdona, koja je pozivala metodističke propovednike na skupove, kojima je bila domaćin. Metodisti su u to vreme bili vođe među hrišćanima u pružanju pomoći najsiromašnijim delovima radničke klase. Znatan deo vojske takođe su sačinjavali metodisti.[16]
