Two CWM member churches – the Congregational Federation (CF) and the United Reformed Church are among the membership of the Congregational History Society, and the Society is now welcoming members from all backgrounds with an interest in Congregational history and the history of religious dissent.
Through its magazine, published twice a year, it offers a forum for the discussion of all aspects of Congregational history. The magazine contains news and views, correspondence, three or four significant articles and book reviews. Readers have commented that they enjoy the lively style of the magazine.
Membership is exceptional value at only £5 per year in the UK (£10 overseas) which includes the cost of both editions of the magazine.
