Methodist Conference Fringe Event – Mary Bosanquet Lecture
Saturday 27th June, 7 – 9pm in Ludlow 1, Telford International Conference Centre
Hosted by Methodist Women in Britain (MWiB), this annual lecture honours the legacy of Mary Bosanquet, a pioneer of female leadership in early Methodism.
This year, we are honoured to welcome Revd Dr. Tessa Henry-Robinson – a womanist practical theologian, Moderator of the Free Churches Group, and the first Black woman to serve as Moderator of the United Reformed Church General Assembly.
Under the theme “The Authority of the Called: Women, Voice, and the Future of the Church,” Dr. Henry-Robinson will bring her internationally respected leadership and “real talk” to the intersection of faith and racial justice. Formed by Methodist, Roman Catholic, and URC traditions, her ministry is a testament to intercultural transformation and the flourishing of communities across difference.
By bridging rigorous scholarship with the courageous “Power and Purpose” of lived experience, this lecture challenges the Methodist Connexion to listen to marginalised voices and engage with global concerns. Join us for an evening of transformative wisdom and a call to action for the future of the Church.
All Welcome, no booking required
