"Conversation as the natural organ communicating, mind with mind ... is the method of human culture. By it I come nearer the hearts of those whom I shall address than by any other means." Bronson Alcott.

An important aspect of our church's life is the opportunity to converse genuinely and openly on matters of faith. This opportunity is available after each of our services as well as, from time to time and as announced, on Wednesday evenings. As our order of service states every week:

"Please also feel free to discuss any aspect of today’s service with [the minister] or any other person present — ours is a liberal, open tradition which welcomes the loving, critical and inquiring spirit. The sermon draws on the faith and experience of the preacher and it is offered to the congregation as encouragement to further reflection and thought. It is most certainly not a definitive statement with which you must agree. As our sixteenth century Polish Socinian forbears said: Whilst we declare our own opinions, we oppress no one. Let every person enjoy the freedom of their own judgement in religion; only let it be permitted to us also to exhibit our view of divine things, without injuring and calumniating others."

These informal conversations help us meet together in a genuinely open and supportive environment to talk in an ongoing way about issues of interest to us as a liberal Christian community.
