WELCOME…..to a network of people who are exploring new approaches to Christianity in their search for meaning and the development of a contemporary spirituality
Progressive Christianity Forum 2025
AN INVITATION TO ATTEND THE 2025 SERIES
CHALLENGES, QUESTIONS AND VALUES WE FACE IN ENGAGING WITH THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD
THE PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY FORUM
You are invited to join us in a series of 11 events which continues the Progressive Christianity Network’s tradition of having informed speakers on topical subjects, chosen to challenge us to explore how Christians might live out their faith in a 21st century world.
Many of the world’s old certainties are gone or in retreat; those of us who seek to express an authentic faith need to find new ways to engage with a world in flux. Multiple crises that invade us, instant communications and connectivity, and widespread loss of confidence in institutions challenge us to find new ways to be faithful to our calling. Our theme for the year, Challenges, Questions and Values we face in engaging with the Church and the World attempts to encapsulate the presentations, and presenters, we have assembled for 2025. We have been delighted at the positive response we have met when asking busy people to take time out to be part of the series. We commend the program to you and look forward to welcoming you.
