Not changing the whole business
the enterprise of church
the commerce of the temple
the whole of their power
but getting their attention
the religious elite
overturning the tables
casting out the thieves

speaking of the Methodist Movement as a

something that made some people very uncomfortable,
including one long-time Methodist who probably was thinking of John Wesley’s words, “Make all you can, save all you can, give all you can.”
