A network of five groups has been established in conjunction with the Sea of Faith. These meet at various locations around the county. Details will be published in the Recent News section.
Even if you are not in any of these groups you can join the Hampshire Hub, a list of people living in or around the county who have a common interest in exploring religious thought and expression from an open non-dogmatic standpoint. News of local, regional and national events that may be of interest are circulated quarterly to those on the list.
There is no charge for belonging to any of the local groups or for inclusion on the Hub list.
