John Wesley’s spirituality blended his Anglican faith with mysticism, Puritanism, and Pietism. Rules of the Band Societies was published shortly after Wesley traveled to Germany to meet Zinzendorf and study the Herrnhut community. Bands were small spiritual accountability groups inspired by Pietist conventicles.
