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.
