2018 Conference Report

Lincoln Cathedral Quarter - Saturday 11th August 2018

This year’s Annual Conference, held in the comfortable surroundings of Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln, was my first experience of any Quest event, and I was not at all disappointed. It was good to enter as a group into the highly topical discussion surrounding James Martin’s book Building a Bridge. In a more general way I…… Continue reading 2018 Conference Report

Church News (Bulletin 75)

After the Synod – A Gentler Tone? German and English bishops offer apologies to gay Catholics.
