Online Lent Course: Framing the Future

What should the future of the church look like and how can it flourish?

This Lent, we're asking big questions with faith leaders. Each week, a different voice shares their vision: of unity across denominations, of faith engaging with science, of justice at the heart of church life, of genuine care in community, of contemplation and action working together.

They're not here to tell you what to think but instead to explore what a united church could be. What faith means in a scientific age. What justice requires. What real care looks like. How contemplation and action belong together.

If you're curious about faith, the future, and what church could become, this is for you.
