The Great Awakening notably altered the religious climate in the American colonies. Ordinary people were encouraged to make a personal connection with God, instead of relying on a minister. Newer denominations, such as Methodists and Baptists, grew quickly. One of the great figures of the movement was George Whitefield, an Anglican priest who was influenced by John Wesley but was himself a Calvinist. Visiting America in 1739–40, he preached up and down the colonies to vast crowds in open fields, because no church building would hold the throngs he attracted. The Great Awakening increased the degree to which people felt that religion was important in their lives. The Great Awakening also affected the colonies by creating rifts among members of religious denominations. Long term effects of the Great Awakening were the decline of Quakers, Anglicans, and Congregationalists as the Presbyterians and Baptists increased. It also caused an emergence in black Protestantism, religious toleration, an emphasis on inner experience, and denominationalism. The second great awakening was a period of religious revival that encourages individuals to pursue the knowledge of God and self. The second great awakening contradicted the assertion of the first great awakening during which the doctrine of predestination was introduced and taught.
