About us

Introduction

The Progressive Christianity Network Britain (A Registered Charity No 1102164) works to promote and support open and contemporary Christian understanding. We provide a network of local groups across the country, publish a radical quarterly newsletter, and organise regular conferences and events. Members come from all denominations, and we enjoy links with other progressive Christian movements around the world.

Send an email to if you have detailed quesions and we’ll get back as soon as we can.

You can also download our PCN Britain Information Leaflet.

The Network recognises the value and significance of tradition and the scriptures in the shaping of Christian faith. But faith must be of today, not just the past. We value the Eight Points first formulated by the Center for Progressive Christianity in America and adapted for the UK by PCN Britain, not as a creed or a statement of faith, but as an expression of how we live as Christians.

Starting and Running a PCN Britain Group

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.
