Re: Basic Standards
All the revivalist movements that have swept the land have reformed themselves to a fundamentalist-holiness type of lifestyle. They recommitted themselves to God and laid aside the things of this world.
As I'm sure many of you are well aware, the early Methodists, John Wesley in particular, were very conservative in their attire and mingling with the world. Wesley himself was very strict on the attire aspect of the believer. There was somewhere that I read where Wesley said that he longed for the day that a Methodist congregation visually mirrored a Quaker congregation; that simple and modest dress. Wesley was very big on mixed patterns and mixed fabrics as I understand it.
There are still Methodists today that adhere to a strictness of dress and separation. Those I've met and know of self-identify as Wesleyan Methodists or Independent Methodists.
