SEJ Historical Society

The Southeastern Jurisdiction Historical Society offers Annual Meetings that feature scholarly papers by professional and lay historians on people, places, and events important to United Methodist history, as well as field trips where appropriate. A newsletter issued three or four times annually provides articles concerning the Ministry of Memory shared with Annual Conference historical societies and Commissions on Archives and History as well as program and registration information for each annual meeting. The current membership always welcomes new members as old friends who share common interests.
