Membership in The Charles Wesley Society is open to all who are interested in the study, preservation, interpretation, and dissemination of Charles Wesley's poetry and prose. Annual meetings provide opportunity for hearing lectures by specialists in the study of Charles Wesley, meeting other persons interested in Charles Wesley, and participating in research or publishing projects related to the poetry and prose of Charles Wesley.
Workshops for more informal and intense discussion of special interests are included with the annual meetings, and each member is asked to choose two sections for such participation. The six sections are:
1. Text
2. Music and text
3. History
4. Theology
5. Community of faith
6. English literature
Members receive The Charles Wesley Society Newsletter when it is published. They also receive The Proceedings of The Charles Wesley Society, an annual collection of papers presented at the meetings of The Society. Additional copies of these publications may be purchased by members at a discount.
Other publications of The Charles Wesley Society are made available to members of The Society at a substantial discount. Such publications include a series of facsimile reprints of first editions of Wesley materials and additional material offered by The Society to its members from time to time.
There are four categories of membership: regular, student, retiree, and life. Annual dues are payable by the regular, student, and retiree members. Life members pay a one-time fee of $750. Dues and other gifts support the work of The Society and assist it in promoting and publishing the works of Charles Wesley. In the years since The Charles Wesley Society was organized in 1990, its membership has consisted of both clergy and laity from around the world, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, the U.S.A., Zimbabwe, and the West Indies.
