Text transcribed from caption: #09 THE OAK TREE WHERE JOHN AND CHARLES WESLEY PREACHED THEIR FAITH TO THE SETTLERS, OVER TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO St. Simons Island, Ga...More than two centuries ago, John and his brother Charles Wesley preached their faith to the settlers beneath the branches of this oak tree. Here in the shade of the same tree, we see members of the Naval Air Station located on the island attending an INTERFAITH service, conducted by Navy Chaplain Lt. (jg) E.L. Allen, singing the hymns written by Charles Wesley, before the birth of the United States of America. CREDIT SHOULD READ: Official U.S. Navy Photo from Religious News Service.
