FaithThinking offers a regular opportunity for reflection on issues relating to theology and pastoral practice.
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.
All of our events are at the LB Offices in Dock Street and run from 10.30am-12.30pm unless indicated otherwise.
FaithThinking is convened by Trevor Neill (Selsdon BC), along with Aled Jones (Hampstead Garden Suburb Free Church), Afi Kirk (Blackheath & Charlton BC) and Ewan King (Heath Street BC) supported by RM Claire Nicholls

Thursday 9th October 2025 - Values Led Leadership
All of us in leadership roles will be familiar with the challenge of seeking to cast a vision while also reacting to emergencies or plotting a course through practices and ideas that have been prevalent over may years. How can we lead in a way that is strategic and not reactive, bringing about true culture change in our churches?
