Sea of Faith in Oxford
Trinity Term 2015
We met on Wednesday 20th May, 2.00 pm to 3.30 pm in the Library of the
Friends Meeting House.
David Paterson announced that he
will be leaving Oxford to return to Loughborough on 30th June, and there was a
far-reaching discussion about what form the local group might take from then
on. Sea of Faith in Oxford’s large mailing list will be asked their views. We
felt that it was an opportunity to re-evaluate the role played by the local
group, and we hope to get a wider range of opinions.
Please will you think about:
whether you are still interested in the
continuation of this local group;
what its aims and objectives might be.
We could then try to make a decision about
whether to continue, though probably in a new way, or disband, perhaps by
amalgamating with the North Oxford group or the Progressive Christianity
Network in Abingdon……
or something completely different. Or just
die and wait for a new resurrection.
Would you please email me with your views as
soon as possible……………

………and in any case, come to
COSMOS Wednesday 3rd June
The second meeting for this term
is a performance of a poem for four voices by Michael Pickering. Michael and
his wife Outi, Katy Jennison and David Paterson are the readers., who have very
much enjoyed rehearsing it. Michael will answer questions, and
welcomes discussion after the performance.
It is a remarkable juxtaposition
of the mythologies of various traditional cultures with the scientific story of
the history of the Cosmos, and it is powerfully emotive.
We think it may appeal to quite a
wide audience, in the areas of poetry, science, anthropology and religious
studies, and have therefore booked
