The invitation to participate in the Lord's Table in the UnitedMethodistChurch is simply this: "Let all who love the Lord come." This is born out of John Wesley's philosophy, "We think and let think." Wesley said:

"I have no more right to object to a man for holding a different opinion from mine than I have to differ with a man because he wears a wig and I wear my own hair; but if he takes his wig off and shakes the powder in my face, I shall consider it my duty to leave him as soon as possible and use every possible method of preventing a narrowness of spirit, a party zeal, a miserable bigotry which makes so many so unready to believe that there is any work of God but among themselves. . . . We think and let think."

When his nephew, Samuel, the son of his brother Charles, entered the Roman Catholic Church, he wrote to him, "Whether in this Church or in that I care not. You may be saved in either and damned in either; but I fear you are not born again."
