Did you know that the Chiesa Evangelica Metodista has a long and intricate history in the heart of Milan? The story begins in the 18th century with John Wesley, a British preacher who challenged the Anglican Church. His movement quickly spread across England and America, and its influence was felt across the globe. The Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society, born during this period, sought to take the message of revivalist Christianity beyond England. The movement’s presence in Italy began in 1859 with the arrival of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society secretary, William Arthur. In the years that followed, the Methodist presence blossomed in Italy. The arrival of two preachers, Richard Green and Henry J. Piggott, led to the establishment of the first Methodist churches in Northern and Southern Italy. In 1871, Leroy M. Vernon, a preacher from the United States, arrived in Bologna and established the Methodist Episcopal Church of Italy. This solidified the Methodist presence in Italy, establishing one of the most influential denominations of the Christian faith. The Methodist Church of Milan, a cornerstone of this movement, has actively continued to spread its message throughout the city and beyond. Today, this church on Via Luigi Porro Lambertenghi 28 stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Wesleyan Methodist tradition.
