In 1996 SCM commissioned a thesis on the History of SCM. This was condensed into the Centennial History Booklet (ISBN 0-473-06076-0), which is now available from SCM.

The thesis scholarship and the printing of the booklet were made possible by a generous grant from the Methodist Church Prince Albert College Trust.

Distribution

• The Centennial History was posted to all Senior Friends on the database, and to others who had requested it, in July 2001.

Many Senior Friends have requested an opportunity to further add to the picture of SCM's history. The National Office is keeping a file of writings and addresses by Senior Friends of all periods. If you would like to contribute, please contact the  National Secretary.
