Susanna Wesley Foundation

Description

The Susanna Wesley Foundation promotes dialogue, supports research, and creates resources, with an emphasis on building community through transformative change. Much of its work is within, or directed towards, faith communities and religious institutions with the aim of bringing together research, faith, and practice and equipping people, lay and ordained, to enable flourishing, inclusive communities.

The Foundation has a particular focus on difference, identity, inclusion and participation but with work, too, around exploring the impact of structures, systems, and relational processes on transformative change. It is also interested in the ways in which those called to ministry and to roles in faith organisations shape their contributions, sustain their well-being, and learn and develop their practice.

The Foundation encourages collaboration and dialogue. It values interdisciplinary study and bringing theology into conversation with other disciplines. It promotes action research and relational and systemic approaches and works to maximise research impact.
