By Whose Authority?

An Interfaith look at Women and Religious Authority

Monday 16th – Thursday 19th July 2012

High Leigh Conference Centre

We all step in & out of leadership, whatever our roles in life.  We all need leadership to go well; we need to have the people who fit that role.  This conference will explore through talks, workshops, art & worship:

The difference that ‘difference’ makes

Humility & Ambition

Women as Leaders in Early Church

Old & New Taboos

‘Leadership’ & Discipleship’ Amongst the Anglican divines

Exemplars & the Art of Conversation Across Faiths & Cultures

Change, Loss & Failure

There will be opportunities to gain skills in personal presence, conflict resolution & authentic conversations; there will be the sharing of insights with people of diverse faiths.  The conference will be uniquely placed to respond to the moment that the church of England approves legislation, or otherwise, for making women bishops.
