Whitefield on Open Air Preaching

To confine our communion within church-walls, and to think Jesus could not preach in a field as well as on consecrated ground; this is Judaism, this is bigotry: this is like Peter, who would not go to preach the gospel to the Gentiles, till he had a vision from God: and when his conduct was blamed by the disciples , he could not satisfy them till he had acquainted them with the vision he had seen.
