You’ll find here the draft guidelines for local groups within the PCN network. Also the list of benefits available to groups. The PCN trustees hope that group convenors will feed back comments to us at info@pcnbritain.org.uk.
As a result of the consultation carried out in September 2011, the PCN trustees have put together a three year plan. We invite your comments which can be sent to PCN Britain, 26 High Street, Newnham, Gloucestershire, GL14 1BB or by email to andy.vivian@pcnbritain.org.uk.
PCN Britain has prepared this checklist for local group thinking of organising a conference or seminar under the PCN banner. It covers all aspect of planning from arranging a speaker to handing back the venue key. It also outlines some of the ways in which PCN can help. Later in 2012 we hope to publish a list of British religious writers and theologians willing to address a conference.
It is PCN Britain’s policy to produce a review of progress every three years and to invite members, through a questionnaire, to suggest ways forward. You will find both of these in this word document. Please return the form by email to andy.vivian@pcnbritain.org.uk by Monday Oct 3rd. Alternatively you can print it out and return the completed form by post to the address on the form. Thank you.

The PCN Group Network is there to support progressive Christians whether or not they wish to subscribe to PCN itself. We ask only that the group should support the Eight Points (see About Us) and that there should be at least one member of the group who is part of PCN-Britain and therefore able to act as the link person or convenor. If you are wondering whether to start a new group this download will tell you what is involved and what we can do to help you. See also Experiences and Reflections on starting a PCN Group.
Download our Annual Report for 2007/2008.
If you wish to apply for membership by post, just fill out our membership form and send it to PCN Britain, along with payment either by cheque or instructions to set up a standing order.
