Sessions are led by invited guests who are asked to speak on areas in which they specialise, usually beginning with a short paper or presentation followed by time for discussion.

Our aim is to provide a safe space where we can talk honestly about the questions and challenges of ministry, while also being stretched and informed in our thinking.

FaithThinking is convened by Trevor Neill (Selsdon BC), supported by RM Claire Nicholls

Future Dates:

Wednesday 9th October 10.30am - Rev Rachel Kane (Mill Hill East Church)

Rediscovering our identity in place,  through shared community spaces and gardens. What is the role of the local church in creating and providing local shared spaces of connection to community and nature? 

Many communities in London feel disconnected from land and place. In what ways can involvement in local spaces grow not just a sense of identity, but also spirituality? Rachel will share research on the impact of community gardens and shared spaces across North London, with theological insights and reflections from the prophetic images in Isaiah of gardens and shared land. Shewill then lead discussion on  how the local churches can grow spaces of connection to community and nature where we are placed. 

Rachel has been a Pastor at Mill Hill East Church since 2019, she has a heart for building community centered on Jesus in the area she lives and has recently completed her Masters in Christian Thought and Practice at Spurgeon's College.
