Modern Church Conference: Living in Faith, Hope, and Love
Monday 18 July 2022
— Wednesday 20 July 2022
Our theme Living in Faith, Hope, and Love partially mirrors the title of the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) project of the Church of England. The Conference will provide constructive theological approaches to the chosen themes of LLF (‘identity, sexuality, relationships, marriage’), and make good some of its omissions (e.g., gender, history, ‘abusive theology’).
- Location:
- High Leigh Conference Centre, Hoddesdon, Herts.
- Speaker:
- Tina Beardsley, Susannah Cornwall, Helen King, Jarel Robinson-Brown, Rachel Starr, Johanna Stiebert, Adrian Thatcher

What are 'gifted moments of spiritual insight'?
Friday 27 May 2022
“Progressive Christianity Network? But how progressive? Karl Rahner said that the Christianity of the future would be mystical or it would not be at all.
So we want to explore Mysticism – a thread that runs through most major religions and that was, I believe, the core of Jesus’ teaching. Yet the Church ignores it! What is Mysticism? Can anyone be a Mystic? What does it ask of us?
