The aim of this conference, organised by Free to Believe, is to explore the possibility that interfaith is the new ecumenism. We will hear from Christians who are committed to this possibility, from Jewish and Islamic speakers about the possibilities they see for it, and from the General Secretary of Churches together in England, David Cornick, to give him a chance to plead for the continued relevance of the work for Christian unity. Where is the cutting edge of unity now?

Professor David Catchpole will be leading the weekend with presentations and conversations concerning Jesus of Nazareth in 2010. In his own time Jesus was a figure of controversy, and where two or three Christians meet together they will probably argue about what may be said about him and the basis upon which anyone may say anything. We shall address some of the questions provoked by historical affirmations about him in the Christian creeds, and try to fill in some of the space left where those creeds say nothing at all. Finally, with an eye to the question of whether Jesus can be viewed as the founder of Christianity, we shall draw in a “theologically significant other”, and ask whether the religion of the carpenter’s son was truly that of the tentmaker Roman citizen, and vice versa.
