Join us to discuss ideas that will change the way you think about the divine. Based around a series of set piece dialogues, this conference will open up avenues of theological thought that challenge the mainstream consensus that 'God' is all powerful and fundamentally 'in control'.

Drawing on work from scholars and practitioners from various parts of the Christian tradition, we will question these certainties and open up exploration of other ways of understanding the nature of God.

Although there is a new-found interest in this sort of theology, the roots of it go back a long way, together we will look at the way that the insights that this thinking is based on have developed over time - just as we ask whether God, too, is in the constant process of change.

This conference will challenge your beliefs, and might just change your life.

Together we will explore the basics of open and relational theology, before diving in to questions about what it means for us to look at the world through an open and relational lens. We will end up by discussing how this sort of thinking can impact our lives, and even consider how preachers and church leaders can make use of the insights offered in their ministry.

The event will take place at Highgate House Conference Centre, a beautiful venue perfect for deep conversations and meaningful connections. Accomodation is ensuite and full board. Don't miss out on this opportunity to delve into the mysteries of divine love!
