If you are part of a Christian community, lay or monastic, gathered in one place or dispersed, or maybe exploring the possibilities of community life, then this conference is for you! We are delighted that GERARD HUGHES, author of the best selling ‘God of Surprises’ will be our keynote speaker. As well as being an author and conference and retreat speaker, he is a member of an ecumenical community in Birmingham.
