Although the Parish is made up of people with a wide range of theological preferences and backgrounds the majority come from a modern liberal perspective and the work of the education committee reflects this. We seek to help people reflect on God in the light of the world in which we live, and to view the world in a new light because of our understanding to God. We do not look for easy answers, but believe that there is no end to learning about God, because there is no end to God.
