Centre for the Study of Modern Christianity: Annual Conference 2025

The Centre for the Study of Modern Christianity is pleased to announce the return of our annual conference series (which previously ran during 2013 to 2019 and then paused in light of the pandemic) in January 2025.

Our return event will take place at St John’s College, Durham, UK on Friday 10th January 2025.

The one day conference is targeted at a broad audience including, but not limited to, researchers, students, clergy and Christian organisations. Our aim is to create a welcoming and stimulating environment in which participants can present emerging and original research in order to share early findings and promote wide-ranging discussion and challenge.

We welcome submissions which present the findings of original research from any relevant disciplinary background, including practical theology, digital theology, sociology/anthropology of religion, ecclesiology and ethnography, and other empirical based research exploring Christianity and the church. In particular, we welcome papers which take a multidisciplinary or mixed-methods approach and which focus on research questions which are rooted in practice. Papers with a particular quantitative or qualitative focus are also welcomed. For more information on submissions, please see our call for papers (below).

Conference registration is open now until Monday 16th December 2024. Registration is priced at £35 full price and £20 for students and ordinands.
