This bi-annual seminar series was established in 2012 and now includes partnerships with the Manchester Wesley Research Centre; the Wesley Study Centre, St John’s College, Durham University; Wesley House, Cambridge; Cliff College; and The Queen’s Foundation, Birmingham.

The next Studies Seminar will be held at the Nazarene Theological College, Manchester on Friday, 5 December 2025.

Additional information about this seminar series can be found on the Manchester Wesley Research Centre’s website.

Held annually, this lecture is delivered by a non-Methodist scholar, and invites them to explore a theme linked to John Wesley and/or early Methodism, in relation to their subject specialism. It is organised in collaboration with Lincoln College, Oxford (where John Wesley was a Fellow from 1726) and Wesley Memorial Church. A list of former speakers, their lectures, and where to read/listen to them, can be found below.

A new series introduced in 2025/26, this occasional series of seminars is aimed at Methodist ministers, local preachers, lay staff and church members, and seeks to open up interesting themes for discussion and reflection.

A full programme will be available shortly.

The seminars will be held on 11 November; 3 February; and 23 May.
