International Links

The EHS serves as the host body for the British sub-commission of the Commission internationale d'histoire et d'études du christianisme (CIHEC), a UNESCO-linked body which serves as the main co-ordinating structure for ecclesiastical historians worldwide.

Conferences

All Members of the Society are invited to an annual residential summer conference, held in a different location each year, and to a one-day winter conference in London. A theme is chosen for the conferences each year by the President, who is elected annually. Conferences include the presentation of major papers by invited speakers who are international experts in their field, and of shorter communications related to the theme, which may be offered by individuals. Excursions are also arranged to local venues of historical interest, and there is time for participants to interact with others working in their areas of research. Selected proceedings of the conferences are published each year in Studies in Church History.

Something a little different ...

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Society's foundation, we are pleased to place online a murder-mystery by Timothy Larsen, Bloomsbury Blood. You may consider that his 'Church Archaeological Society' bears an uncanny resemblance to the EHS, but we couldn't possibly comment ...

The novel comes in two files rather than the classic Victorian three parts. To read it, click on the links below.
