Being Missional Today at Coventry Cathedral

Inspiring change in today’s church  

• Are you passionate about the missional engagement of the local church?
• Do you want to connect with others who are reimagining what it means to be ‘missional’ in today’s complex society?

Join the Being Missional Today conference, hosted jointly by the Church Urban Fund,  Coventry Cathedral, the Iona Community and Reconciliation Initiatives, with RI handling the ticket sales and core organisation.

It’s on Tuesday 10 June 2025 at Coventry Cathedral.

Join conversations with 22 speakers and fellow participants, including Keynote speakers the Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani (Bishop of Chelmsford) and Revd Dr Al Barrett (Rector of Hodge Hill in East Birmingham).

This conference is a chance to hear from voices historically marginalised in mission dialogues, including people of global majority heritage, working class thinkers and younger theologians, creating a more globally connected and inclusive conversation, exploring perspectives beyond current dominant models.

It’s also a programme that reflects different learning and processing styles, with space for small group conversation, drawing on the wisdom in the room, as well as quiet reflection time.

This is an Ecumenical conference – hear a range of perspectives with leaders from Queen’s Foundation (Birmingham), Baptist Union, Coventry Cathedral, United Reformed Church, CMS and USPG, CofE’s Racial Justice Unit, and more.

There will be three seminar streams, with four options in each session – your choice of seminars and workshops.

Cost:

• £75 per participant. However, if you’re part of RI’s Reconciling Mission Network (current or past participants on Reconciling Mission programme) you’re eligible for a £10 discount.
• £45 for those in part- or full-time theological education with a denominationally recognised college.

Discounts:A group of five will be able to cover all the bases and could then gather to share learning and insights with one another after the event – and potentially then share more widely within the diocese.
A group discount is available to organisations booking for at least 5 participants. There is a further discount for groups of 10 or more (please ask for details).

Tickets are available here.
