Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba

Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
ry’umurimo. Bo ubwabo na bagenzi babo bake babakundaga, baje guhabwa izina
ry’Abametodisiti n’abanyeshuri bagenzi babo batubahaga Imana babakwenaga. Muri icyo
gihe, iryo zina ryafatwaga nk’irisuzuguritse, ariko ubu, ni iry’icyubahiro, rifitwe na rimwe
mu matorero magari cyane mu Bwongereza no muri Amerika.
Nka bamwe mu bagize Itorero ry’Ubwongereza, bari bakomeye cyane ku mihango yaryo
yo gusenga; ariko Umukiza yari yaraberetse mu Ijambo rye ikintu kirushije ibyo byose
agaciro. Mwuka Muziranenge yabahatiraga kubwiriza ibya Kristo wabambwe. Imbaraga
y’Isumbayose yahoranaga nabo mu murimo. Abantu ibihumbi byinshi baremezwaga kandi
bagahinduka by’ukuri. Nuko rero, izo ntama zagombaga kurindwa ibirura. Ntabwo Wesley
yatekerezaga gushinga itorero rishya, ariko yateranyirije abizeraga mu cyitwaga Ihuriro
Metodisiti. 277
Abo babwiriza baje guhura no kurwanywa mu buryo bukomeye kandi buteye ubwoba
biturutse ku itorero risanzwe ririho; nyamara Imana mu bwenge bwayo yari yayoboye
ibyagiye bibaho kugira ngo itume ivugura ritangira mu itorero ubwaryo. Iyo iryo vugurura
rituruka hanze y’itorero, ntiryajyaga gucengera ngo rigere aho ryari rikenewe cyane. Ariko
bitewe n’uko ababwiriza b’ivugurura bari abayoboke b’itorero kandi bakaba barakoreraga
munsi y’ubuyobozi bw’itorero, aho bashoboraga kubona icyuho hose, ukuri kwakingurirwaga
imiryango kukinjira aho kutari kubasha gukingurirwa mu bundi buryo. Bamwe mu bayobozi
b’itorero bakanguwe mu bitotsi barimo, maze bahinduka ababwiriza b’abanyamwete muri za
paruwasi zabo. Amatorero yari yaragushijwe ikinya n’imihango, yongeye kugarura ubuzima.
Mu gihe cya Wesley, kimwe no mu bindi bihe by’amateka y’itorero, abantu bafite impano
zitandukanye bakoze umurimo bahawe. Ntabwo bagiye bahuza ku ngingo zose z’imyizerere,
ariko bose bayoborwaga na Mwuka w’Imana, kandi bashyiraga hamwe mu kugera ku
mugambi wari ushishikaje wo kugarurira Kristo imitima. Kutavuga rumwe hagati ya
Whitefield n’abari mu ruhande rwa Wesley byageze ubwo bisa n’ibigiye guteza amacakubiri;
ariko kubera ko bari abantu bigishijwe kwicisha bugufi mu ishuri rya Kristo, kwihanganirana
n’urukundo byabateye kwiyunga. Ntibagiraga igihe cyo kujya impaka mu gihe ubuyobe
n’ibicumuro byabaga gikwira hirya no hino kandi abanyabyaha baramanukaga berekeza mu
nzira yo kurimbuka.
Abagaragu b’Imana bagendaga mu nzira iruhije. Abakomeye n’intiti bakoresheje
imbaraga zabo babarwanya. Nyuma y’igihe gito, benshi mu bayobozi bakuru b’itorero
bagaragaje ubugizi bwa nabi ku mugaragaro, maze inzugi z’insengero zirafungwa bityo
ukwizera gutunganye n’abakwamamazaga birakingiranwa. Imikorere y’abayobozi b’itorero
mu kubarwanyiriza mu magambo yavugirwaga ku ruhimbi yabyukije ibyari mu mwijima,
ubujiji n’ibicumuro. Yohana Wesley yagiye asimbuka urupfu inshuro nyinshi
kubw’ibitangaza by’ubuntu bw’Imana. Igihe imbaga y’abantu barakaye bari bamuhagurukiye
kandi bikaba byarasaga n’aho nta buryo bwo kubacika, umumarayika yaje mu ishusho
