As you know, 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of the Wesleyan Renaissance Seminar. I am delighted to announce the schedule for fall 2019, designed to deepen and contextualize our understanding of the Renaissance. I hope you will be able to join us for lively discussion of issues that invigorate our various fields.
