Two dates to note for March 2:
In 1791, John Wesley died. His populist and progressive (relative to Calvinism) ministry led to the development of Methodism from out of the Church of England. Wesley's denial of other apocalyptic predictions (see February 28) did not preclude Wesley's own belief that Christ would return in 1836.
In 1925, the noted Christian dispensationalist and Dean of Dallas Theological Seminary, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, was born. (More on dispensationalism to come!)
