Group Profile

About Us

We are a friendly group - eager to share ideas and learn from others.

We start each session with tea/coffee (or something stronger if you wish!) and a general chat about any activities or events that we have experienced or heard about that would be of interest to other members. We then review the topic for the session along with open and honest discussions in which everyone’s views are respected.
It is a great way to hear other people’s views and put your own in a friendly, non-judgmental environment.

Local PCN members and anyone who is interested in Progressive Christianity are all welcome to join us. Even if you are not sure that you want to attend regularly, please feel free to come along for a “taster” session.

Venue & Meeting Times

We meet from 2.00 to 3.30pm on a Tuesday - usually the second or third of each month
Since March 2024, we meet in Beckenham at the Papillo restaurant 45 High Street near to the railway station.

Please contact the convenor - Adrian Lambourne - for details for each month.
