The Role of the Thomas Helwys Centre

It is hoped that, within its present modest resources the Thomas Helwys Centre might

  • be a resource for the Baptist denomination and our ecumenical partners in considering this aspect of human rights.
  • through its Reference Group, provide expertise for Baptists and other groups who want to respond to particular instances
  • build up a library of books, journals and papers relating to religious freedom
  • become a study resource for those who want to study human rights and religious freedom
  • organise seminars and the occasional conference on aspects of religious freedom
  • network with those Baptists and others working nationally and internationally in the field.

Messages of Support for the new Centre have come from The Baptist World Alliance, The European Baptist Association, the Council of Churches for Britain and Ireland, and the JM Dawson Institute for Church State Relations at the University of Baylor, Texas, USA.
