Bennet, John, 1714-1759

John Bennet was a British Methodist who became one of John Wesley's itinerant preachers in 1747. He formally separated from Wesley in 1752, accusing Wesley of preaching papist doctrine and of being a "pope." A number of people left Methodism with Bennet. He became the pastor of an independent congregation at Warburton, Cheshire. Bennet died May 24, 1759.
