'The next North London Sea of Faith meeting will be at our house, Wednesday 29th October at 8 pm.
As the copy of 'Sofia' with the talks and report of the Leicester conference is now distributed, we will look at some of the issues raised at the conference and discuss these.
The title of the conference was 'Making Connections' with wide ranging ideas which led to much discussion, so I hope we will be able to share some of this.
I do hope you will be able to come.'

Next Meeting, Saturday, 5th July, 2014, 11.00am.

The next North London SOF meeting will be at the home of John and Janet Seargeant, 61 Fordington Road, Highgate, N6 4TH on Saturday, 5th July, 2014, 11.00am.

This will be our summer lunch meeting. We will start at 11.00 am with coffee and then have the meeting followed by a shared lunch, hoping to be able to spend time in the garden.

Please bring food towards the shared lunch. We will provide wine and soft drinks.

It was suggested at our last meeting that an interesting follow-on from the talk and discussion we had looking at " from Honest to God to Sea of Faith" would be for each person to bring a short reading from one of Don Cupitt's books and contribute to discussion on the extracts.
The idea would be for everyone to find something that particularly spoke to them and say why they found it useful and interesting. We will therefore hold the meeting in the format of a magazine meeting with these contributions from each of us. Please therefore bring an extract from one of Don's books to share, as well as your contribution to the lunch.

Next Meeting, Wednesday, 2nd April, 2014, 8.00pm.

The next North London SOF meeting will be at the home of John and Janet Seargeant, 61 Fordington Road, Highgate, N6 4TH on Wednesday evening 2nd April.


We will be starting with coffee at 8.00pm and then we will be considering the topic "From Honest to God to Sea of Faith".

Graham Shaw has kindly agreed to introduce the topic and lead discussion.


Last year was the 50th anniversary of 'Honest to God' by John Robinson, and good background for our discussion is the following article by Philip Feakin which you can download here:

'Honest to God - Fifty Years On' by Philip Feakin

Our Next Group Meeting: Wednesday 13th November, 8.00pm

Now that our London SOF conference is over it is time to turn our attention to our next meeting as a group. We were delighted with the conference which went very well with an attendance of around 210 people. I think we all agreed that our three speakers were very good and gave a spectrum of views which left us much to think about.

Our next group meeting will be on Wednesday 13th November at 8.00pm at our house,  61 Fordington Road, Highgate, London N6 4TH.

As we have just received the latest edition of the SOF magazine, Sofia, with copies of the three talks given at the July conference in Leicester, I thought we could discuss these three talks and the general topic of that conference which was  "For the Common Good".

We may bring in thoughts from our London conference as well, which may be relevant, but as we have not yet got the talks from London in print, we will focus on the Summer conference as presented in Sofia.
