‘I’m not a theologian, but…’ a Modern Church retreat
A couple of days of honest and open discussion, creative worship and reflection, taking place in Holland House, Worcestershire. Be part of a process where there are no ‘silly questions’ and of a space in which we support one another to reflect on our relationship to prayer, scripture, the history of our churches and their teachings. Explore what ‘doing theology’ can mean; how the diverse and vast Christian tradition can be transformed from ‘restricted access’ to ‘open all areas’, to plunder and enjoy.
Their team of facilitators encompass a range of practical theological specialisms and will include:
Elaine Graham is Chair of Modern Church, Professor Emerita of Practical theology at the University of Chester, and Fellow of the British Academy
Helen Stanton is Warden of Holland House and former Anglican Tutor in Ethics, Doctrine and Spirituality at the Queen’s Foundation
Simon Sutcliffe is Free Church Chaplain at Keele University, currently researching the development of theological literacy amongst lay adults. Simon’s current research interests lie at the intersection of Feminist New Materialism and theologies of masculinity
Carlton Turner is Deputy Director of Research and Practical and Contextual Theologian at the Queens Foundation, Birmingham
Alison Webster is General Secretary of Modern Church and a writer and thinker on themes of mission theology and social justice, identity and Community Organising.
