The Wesley Historical Society are pleased to welcome Dr David Ceri Jones as their new President.
It is a great honour to have been recently elected as the new President of the Wesley Historical Society, having served the society as editor of its Proceedings since 2011.
I am a Reader in Early Modern history at Aberystwyth University in Wales, and have published extensively on the history of early Methodism, especially of the Welsh and Calvinistic varieties, and am currently producing an edition of the letters of George Whitefield.
The WHS is one of the oldest, largest and most active of the many denominational historical societies. Yet, as with many societies, we are only slowly emerging into the post-Covid world and getting back to something resembling normal. I’m excited to be stepping into the President role at this particular moment, and looking forward to reviving and re-energising many of the society’s activities in the months and years to come. Do keep a close eye on these webpages for advance notice of new events and publications.
