D. He felt the Anglican Church was not reaching the masses of poor people.

Answer 2

Answer:

  He felt the Anglican Church was not reaching the masses of poor people.

Explanation:

 It originated as a revival movement within the 18th century Church of England and became a separate denomination after Wesley´s death. The movement first spread throughout the British Empire and then to the United States because of vigorous missionary work.

  In the early ages, Methodist were drawn from all levels of society, the preachers took the message to laborers and criminals who tended to be outside the other organized religion. Mostly because the other religions believed that God´s salvation was for a selected group of persons only.
