Living in Faith, Hope, and Love

The Modern Church Conference  18-20 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 approaches to the chosen themes of LLF (‘identity, sexuality, relationships, marriage’) and make good some of its omissions (e.g., gender, history, ‘abusive theology’).

Speakers include, The Rev Dr Tina Beardsley, Prof. Susannah Cornwall, Prof. Helen King, The Rev. Jarel Robinson-Brown, Rachel Starr, Pro. Johanna Stiebert, and Prof. Adrian Thatcher who also Chairs the Conference.
