This year Pentecost is on 24 May. This is the day in 1738 when John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, had a powerful spiritual experience. This convinced him of the truth of his salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. He began to preach that this salvation was available to everyone.
This year, BBC's Songs of Praise celebrates this with a selection of hymns, and stories of how that passion and conviction continue today. Watch it by clicking on the link -
