English term or phrase: Wesleyan Methodism
I wonder whether an English Aryan prophet will appear some day and announce that 'Wesleyan Methodism' corrupted England by teaching the English murder and drug-taking, which they never knew before.

Could someone tell me if 'Wesleyan Methodism' is equivalent to 'Methodism メソジスト教'?

Thanks for your help.

No, not exactly
Explanation:
It's true that John Wesley was one of the founders of Methodism and Methodist Church, but Methodism has branched out so much since then; now they have United Methodist, Free Methodist, Episcopal Methodist, etc. Now they are talking about combining Anglican Church and Wesleyan Methodist Church together. Apparently, these are not exactly the same as what Wesley originally advocated in the 18th century.

Yes, W M is Methodism, but based on the reasoning mentioned above, I would say Wesleyan Methodism refers to a specific type of Methodism, the original Methodism, and not its modern branches. This is when you need to make a distinction between Methodism at its origin and its modern branches.

In Japanese, Methodism is メソジスト教(sect),メソジスト教派(sect), or メソジスト主義(doctrine).
So my sample translation for Wesleyan Methodism is ウェスレーが唱えたメソジスト主義. I can't find any Japanese URLs with ウェスレー メソジスト派 as a fixed phrase, but there are some churches in Hawaii that are called ウェスレー合同メソジスト教会(this is Wesleyan United Methodist, though)

P.S. As far as I know, murder had long existed before Wesley's time. The great prophet Moses even murdered someone before he became a leader.

"Methodism" and "Wesleyan Methodism" are the same.


Explanation:
John Wesley was the principal founder of Methodism, and this where "Wesleyan" comes from. It seems that "Wesleyan Methodism" refers to Methodism (Mesojisuto-kyou) in general, rather than a sub-branch of Methodism.

【メソジスト Methodist Churches】

・イングランド国教会司祭ジョン・ウェスリーが開祖
・・・・・・・

ウェスリーは、メソジスト協会(Methodist Society)という名称を国教会内部の自分たちのグループに採用し、メソジストを「聖書に言われている方法(メソッド)に従って生きる人」と定義した。・・・・・・・

Wesleyは「ウェスレー」、Wesleyanは「ウェスレヤン」と書くのが教会の慣例となっている(ただし本書では「ウェスリー」と記した)。【メソジストを総称して「ウェスレー派教会」ともいう。】メソジストから派生した群れには、創始者ウェスリーの名前をとって、組織名を Wesleyan ○○ とするところもある。・・・・・・・

現在日本では、単独の教派としては存在していない。ただし、日本基督教団内に旧日本メソ教会の流れを汲む「更新伝道会」があり、ここで発行している「ウェスレー研究会パンフレット」シリーズが参考になる。・・・
