Methodist Studies. Papers are invited for the Methodist Studies Seminar, which will be held at the Manchester Wesley Research Centre, Nazarene Theological College, Manchester, co-hosted with Cliff College, on Friday 5 December 2025 (in person and online). The seminars provide an opportunity for established and emerging scholars of Methodist Studies to present the findings of their research and are designed to stimulate scholarship and thought about the broad range of Wesleyan and Methodist traditions, across a wide range of disciplines.

Presentations should be prepared for 20 minutes, with discussion following. Persons needing to present on-line may be offered the opportunity to make 10-minute presentations. Please send the proposal including presenter’s name, institution, title, and an abstract of approximately 150 words to mwrc@nazarene.ac.uk by 7 September 2025.
