Nat Turner

 

 

Did you know that Nat Turner was a Methodist? No? Then this account of what became best known as Nat Turner's Rebellion may interest you. A little too speculative an account for my taste, but a good review, nonetheless, of this dark moment in our country's development. 

Wesley House

After singing at Great St. Mary's, I happened to pass by the Wesley House. Curious to see more, I was very cordially welcomed by the staff and even given a brief tour.

"Wesley House was founded as a Methodist theological college in Jesus Lane, Cambridge, England. It opened in 1921 as a place for the education of Methodist ministers and today serves as a gateway to theological scholarship for students and scholars of the Wesleyan and Methodist traditions from around the world. It was a founding member of the Cambridge Theological Federation, an ecumenical body of theological colleges in Cambridge which is affiliated to but independent of the University of Cambridge." -- Wikipedia

Stephen Hawking

Interesting note: Stephen Hawking's (1942–2018) funeral was held here at Great St. Mary's on 31 March 2018 prior to his cremation and interring of his ashes in Westminster Abbey.
