Living Theology Forum
Our Living Theology Forum is a meeting place for the mutual exchange of shared theological ideas about Christian social action.
We want this forum to be participatory, invitational, empowering, challenging and open to challenge. And we will welcome contributions from diverse voices to help build a good library of material and shape the forum as a valued reference source for the wider church.
