The Aldersgate Society is a group of students, staff, and faculty who meet
regularly to discuss theological issues from a Wesleyan perspective.
Spring 2008 meetings generally occur Wednesdays from 11:00am - 12:30pm
in ATO Lower #36 and include special speakers, discussions arising from
classes, and matters distinctive to Wesleyan theology. All persons
are warmly invited join as we examine Wesleyan life and thought in the
context of the historic and contemporary church.
The Aldergate Society Home Page is a resource link to the activities of
the Society, John Wesley's writings, and other resources in Wesleyan theology.
