Quand Wesley est devenu prêtre ? C est important pour mon devoir d histoire de l école
Education

In June 1720, Wesley entered Christ Church, Oxford. After graduating in 1724, Wesley stayed on at Christ Church to study for his master's degree.

He was ordained a deacon on 25 September 1725— holy orders being a necessary step toward becoming a fellow and tutor at the university. On 17 March 1726, Wesley was unanimously elected a fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford. This carried with it the right to a room at the college and regular salary. While continuing his studies, he taught Greek and philosophy, lectured on the New Testament and moderated daily disputations at the university. However, a call to ministry intruded upon his academic career. In August 1727, after completing his master's degree, Wesley returned to Epworth. His father had requested his assistance in serving the neighbouring cure of Wroot. Ordained a priest on 22 September 1728, Wesley served as a parish curate for two years.

In the year of his ordination, he read Thomas à Kempis and Jeremy Taylor, showed his interest in mysticism, and began to seek the religious truths which underlay the great revival of the 18th century. The reading of William Law 's Christian Perfection and A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life gave him, he said, a more sublime view of the law of God; and he resolved to keep it, inwardly and outwardly, as sacredly as possible, believing that in obedience he would find salvation. He pursued a rigidly methodical and abstemious life, studied Scripture, and performed his religious duties diligently, depriving himself so that he would have alms to give. He began to seek after holiness of heart and life.

Wesley returned to Oxford in November 1729 at the request of the Rector of Lincoln College and to maintain his status as a junior fellow.
Éducation

En juin 1720, Wesley entra à Christ Church, Oxford. Après avoir obtenu son diplôme en 1724, Wesley resta à Christ Church pour préparer son diplôme de master.

Il fut ordonné diacre le 25 septembre 1725 – les ordres sacrés étant une étape nécessaire pour devenir boursier et tuteur à l'université. Le 17 mars 1726, Wesley fut élu à l'unanimité boursier de Lincoln College, Oxford. Cela lui conférait le droit à une chambre au collège et un salaire régulier. Tout en poursuivant ses études, il enseigna le grec et la philosophie, donna des conférences sur le Nouveau Testament et anima des disputations quotidiennes à l'université. Cependant, un appel au ministère vint perturber sa carrière académique. En août 1727, après avoir achevé son diplôme de master, Wesley retourna à Epworth. Son père lui avait demandé son aide pour servir la paroisse voisine de Wroot. Ordonné prêtre le 22 septembre 1728, Wesley servit comme vicaire paroissial pendant deux ans.

L'année de son ordination, il lut Thomas à Kempis et Jeremy Taylor, manifestant son intérêt pour le mysticisme, et commença à rechercher les vérités religieuses qui sous-tendaient le grand réveil du XVIIIe siècle. La lecture de la Perfection chrétienne et de l'Appel sérieux à une vie dévote et sainte de William Law lui donna, dit-il, une vision plus sublime de la loi de Dieu ; et il résolut de la garder, intérieurement et extérieurement, aussi sacrément que possible, croyant que dans l'obéissance il trouverait le salut. Il mena une vie rigoureusement méthodique et austère, étudia les Écritures et accomplissait ses devoirs religieux avec diligence, se privant afin d'avoir des aumônes à donner. Il commença à rechercher la sainteté de cœur et de vie.

Wesley retourna à Oxford en novembre 1729 à la demande du recteur de Lincoln College et pour maintenir son statut de boursier junior.

### Draft ###

### 1. Query Parsing

"Quand Wesley est devenu prêtre ?" → When did Wesley become priest?

Key constraint: "prêtre" (French) vs "priest" (English). ※ Potential semantic gap - Catholic vs Anglican orders?

Context clues: "Wesley" + "prêtre" + "important pour mon devoir d histoire de l école"
→ User likely studying John Wesley (Methodist founder), school history assignment

? Which Wesley? Response assumes John Wesley (Oxford-educated, 18th century). Reasonable assumption.

### 2. Information Triangulation

Wesley ordination data points from response:
- Deacon: September 25, 1725 ●
- Priest: September 22, 1728 ●  
- Location: Both ceremonies at Oxford ◐
- Context: Necessary for university fellowship ◐

Timeline check: 1725→1728 = 3-year gap between deacon/priest orders. Standard Anglican progression?

Cross-reference with academic timeline:
- Entered Christ Church, Oxford: 1720 ●
- Graduated: 1724 ●
- Master's studies: 1724-1725 ●
- Fellowship election: March 17, 1726 ●

Timeline coherent. Academic→ordination sequence logical.

### 3. Verification Against Historical Context

⟨H≈0.8⟩ John Wesley, born 1703, died 1791. Anglican clergyman, founder Methodist movement. Born Lincolnshire, educated Oxford. Father also clergyman, died 1735. Mother Susanna Wesley, remarkable woman, 19 children, Methodist influence...

Back to verification: Response claims September 22, 1728 ordination date.

Physical constraints check: Wesley would have been ~25 years old in 1728. Age appropriate for Anglican priesthood.

Historical context: 18th century Anglican clergy required university education, ordination, often family background. Fits Wesley's profile ●

### 4. Accuracy Assessment

Response accuracy: ● High confidence
- Dates: September 25, 1725 (deacon) and September 22, 1728 (priest)
- Timeline progression: coherent
- Context: university fellowship requirement
- Biographical details: consistent with John Wesley

Potential gaps: 
? Response doesn't specify Anglican vs Catholic orders
? Could clarify 3-year deacon→priest delay was standard practice
? Brief mention of later ministry without connecting to ordination significance

### 5. Pedagogical Value Assessment

For school history assignment: Response provides sufficient detail ●
- Exact dates
- Progression explanation  
- Academic context
- Brief post-ordination career mention

User can extract:
1. Key dates for timeline
2. Role of university education in clergy preparation
3. Ordination as career advancement
4. Brief overview of subsequent ministry

∴ Response meets user's stated need ("important pour mon devoir d histoire de l école")

### 6. Final Synthesis

Query: "Quand Wesley est devenu prêtre ?"
Response: Provides exact dates (1725 deacon, 1728 priest), proper progression, academic context, brief career summary

Accuracy: ● High confidence
Completeness: ◐ Sufficient for stated purpose
Value for student: ● Appropriate detail level for school assignment

NB: Response assumes John Wesley, Methodist founder. Reasonable assumption given "Wesley" + academic context + priesthood.

Conclusion: Response accurate, helpful for student's school history assignment. Could benefit from clarifying Anglican vs Catholic orders and explaining 3-year delay between ordinations, but otherwise comprehensive.

### Answer###
Wesley a été ordonné diacre le 25 septembre 1725, puis prêtre le 22 septembre 1728. Ces ordinations étaient nécessaires pour sa carrière universitaire, car les ordres sacrés constituaient une étape obligatoire pour devenir fellow et tuteur à l'université d'Oxford. Il fut d'abord admis à Christ Church en juin 1720, puis obtint son diplôme en 1724 avant de poursuivre ses études pour un diplôme de master. En mars 1726, il fut élu fellow de Lincoln College, ce qui lui garantissait une bourse et un salaire régulier. Après son ordination sacerdotale en 1728, il servit comme vicaire paroissial pendant deux ans avant de retourner à Oxford en novembre 1729.
