The Soldier Preacher – Captain Thomas Webb was an unmistakable figure in Methodism. He preached in a scarlet and gold military uniform— with a green patch over his right eye and a sword brandished across the pulpit. Webb was a British Army officer turned Methodist lay preacher, who was known for his dynamic, energetic, bold, and enthusiastic personality. John Wesley once said of Webb, “The Captain is all life and fire.” Though he lacked formal ordination, Webb’s powerful testimony and commanding presence drew crowds in cities like Philadelphia and New York, where he helped establish some of the first Methodist societies on American soil. A soldier by training and an evangelist by calling, Captain Webb’s bold witness helped carry the Methodist message across the Atlantic and into the hearts of a growing nation.
