RESIDENTIAL CONFERENCE 2022
The 2022 residential conference will be held at
the New Room, Bristol,
on Friday 17- Saturday 18 June.
The theme is 'Slavery and freedom in the Nonconformist traditions', but
taken in the broadest sense, to cover topics such as modern slavery, prison
ministry, conversion narratives, national independence movements, and the
language of the Wesleys' hymns. The event
will include the Annual Lecture, on the afternoon of Saturday 18 June. This
will be given by Professor Douglas M. Strong of Seattle Pacific University.
The conference will be in person, but we are planning to livestream some
sessions. It is being organised with partners including the Charles Wesley
Society and the World Methodist Historical Society.
If you wish to attend, or present a paper, please
contact the Conference Secretary, Dr Clive Norris, at cnorris@brookes.ac.uk.
Further details to follow.
