About The Sider Institute for Anabaptist, Pietist and Wesleyan Studies
The Sider Institute for Anabaptist, Pietist, and Wesleyan Studies promotes the exploration and interpretation of Anabaptism, Pietism, and Wesleyanism—the theological traditions that shape the “personality” of the Brethren in Christ Church, the founding denomination of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ College, and that inform the College’s educational mission today. We hope that you will join us for this year’s annual Schrag/Peace lectures.
