Abstract
For more than a decade, twice-yearly Methodist Studies Seminars have offered opportunities for scholars in the Wesleyan and Methodist tradition to present papers and works in progress. During the COVID-19 pandemic in-person attendance was replaced by online engagement, giving the seminars an international membership. Methodism and Monasticism comprises papers given at the December 2020 seminar, hosted by the Oxford Centre for Methodism and Church History at Oxford Brookes University. William Gibson writes on Samuel Wesley and the religious societies; Colin Haydon on John Wesley’s admiration for Gregory Lopez and the Marquis de Renty; Kenneth Carveley on Wesley’s use of spiritual rules and writings by French devotional authors; Linda Ryan on the rules of Kingswood School; Nick Mayhew-Smith on Celtic spirituality and Methodist open-air preaching; and Jenny Carpenter on the Wesley Community in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Some of the papers draw on their author’s larger projects, like Professor Gibson’s biography of Samuel Wesley, Dr Haydon’s 2019 John Wesley Lecture, Dr Ryan’s John Wesley and the Education of Children (2017), and Dr Carveley’s recent monograph The Monastic Footprint in Post-Reformation Movements (2022). Perhaps most welcome, then, is Jenny Carpenter’s record of the Wesley Community—a piece of contemporary history that might otherwise be lost.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
