What We Do
Highlight the resources of the MWRC and the Methodist Archives in the John Rylands University of Manchester Library. - Attract and support research students working at The University of Manchester through any of the partner institutions on subjects related to the Centre’s purpose.
- Give scholars from partner institutions the chance to conduct research in areas linked to the Centre’s purpose.
- Provide a means of linking leading scholars from partner institutions.
- Offer study space and a focal point for scholars from other institutions who want to take advantage of the resources available in Manchester.
- Develop, oversee and co-ordinate significant scholarly events to enhance the work of the Centre and disseminate the results of MWRC research.
These aims have begun to come to fruition through research students registered for doctoral research at partner institutions who utilize the MWRC and JRULM for research.
Scholars from a number of partner institutions came together for a Madeley Day Colloquium in May 2006 which featured papers on John and Mary Fletcher and their associates.
The MWRC hosts an annual lecture each June given by a leading scholar in the field of Wesley Studies.
