About John Fletcher
John Fletcher was born in Nyon, Switzerland in 1729. Educated in Geneva, Fletcher was ordained in 1752. He married Mary Bosanquet who became the first female preacher authorized by John Wesley to preach. For twenty-five years (1760–1785) Fletcher served as the vicar of the parish of Madeley. Although he was the "Arminian of Arminians" and preached against Calvinism, Fletcher was remembered by followers and detractors as "not a polemist, but always treated his opponents with fairness and courtesy." (D. S. Schaff)
