Northern Clergy Conference 2019

“In a world of increasing polarity, where it is ever-more challenging to find ways of speaking from any ‘middle place’, we need to take any opportunity we can to explore how we are called to be the church and proclaim the gospel in this new space. Rather than retreating to the edges and building ever higher walls around our positions, how do we engage in real and respectful conversation in ‘the marketplace’? Our hope is that by bringing together such high-calibre thinkers and speakers for our clergy conference this year, we will provide a space to think through what it might mean to speak anew into the marketplace and equip us for this task in new ways.” Bishop Jeremy Greaves
