Great man, can not express that enough.  He did  great things in the civil rights movement but was also a great minister in the church and very religious man.  He talked about civil-peace, much like Jesus Christ he would not fight and when he spoke at rallies he always emphasized religion.

Francis Asbury and his work in early Methodism

Methodism, begun by John Wesley and others as a reform movement within the Church of England, spread to the American colonies in the 1760s. Although handicapped by Wesley's opposition to the American Revolution, Methodists nevertheless made remarkable progress in the young American republic. Francis Asbury (1745-1816) was the dynamo who drove the spectacular growth of the church. He ordained 4,000 ministers, preached 16,000 sermons and traveled 270,000 miles on horseback, sometimes to the most inaccessible parts of the United States.
